Well, you certainly got rid of a lot more by volume than I did! Books, CDs and DVDs are definitely hard, but it does get easier with time and practice.
FWIW, I've been steadily decluttering for about 5 years now and am only just getting close to having a quantity of stuff that will allow me to switch to one-thing-in-one-thing-out mode. Which is not to discourage you with how long it will take, but to say that even the "overwhelming" stuff will get dealt with eventually if you keep at it little and often.
(My garden is actually my most "cluttered" area now, that still needs most work, which is why it's getting a lot of focus at the moment, while the weather is making that possible.)
And I'm glad you're able to replace things you rarely wear with things you're more comfortable in -- the overall amount of clothes you have may not change, but a lot less of it is (never-worn) "clutter". (I also find it immensely annoying when the fashion industry goes on a run of only producing styles that don't work for me.)
