Removing things from a screen is easy. Removing the right things is a product decision, not a visual one.
Reduce choices, not information
Users rarely complain about too much information when it is well organised. They struggle with too many decisions. The most useful kind of minimalism reduces the number of choices at each step.
Hidden is not gone
Moving features into menus can make a screen look cleaner while making the product harder to use. Every hidden option needs a clear way back.
A minimal interface is one where nothing is missing when you need it.
