Help, my Death Star suffers from Kessler syndrome!
$begingroup$
I love my Death Star. There is nothing more thrilling than pulverizing a planet and feeling the inhabitants screaming out in terror.
However, my Death Star seems to have developed a case of Kessler Syndrome. Fragments of the planets, moons, and ships that we have destroyed get pulled into orbit around our space station. They crash into each other, breaking up into smaller pieces, and forming a debris field.
This has caused problems with our fully armed and operational battlestation. Wreckage has damaged portions of the base's superstructure. Several TIE fighters sent out on patrol have been lost by collisions with debris. And every time a dignitary visits on a shuttlecraft, I cross my bionic fingers that they arrive and depart safely. I am so frustrated that I feel like strangling an admiral.
What can be done to rid my moon-sized fortress of this pitiful problem?
This question differs from other (1,2) kessler-syndrome questions, as this question is specific to the Death Star and because answers do not need to be science-based.

I really don't care what degree an answer is based in science, as long as it is plausible in the genre. The other questions exclude answers that aren't based on science. Such answers are encouraged here. A purely science-based answer is acceptable here, albeit not very original.

Well assuming its just like in Star Wars, you have the technology to control gravity. Just turn it off for a few hours, maybe a day, and all the debris will naturally move away under its own inertia.

Do you not have a giant death ray at your disposal?
Dial it down a notch and use it to gently push the debris away, or dial it up and turn the debris near you into an ionised has you can then siphon into your very scientifically rigorous plasma conduits.
Either way: bye bye debris!

Most of the exploded planet bits will not stick around in your orbit as you move from star system to star system. There will still be a fair amount of debris, so salvage won't get rid of all of it. But it will make a sizable dent. Enough to greatly reduce damage to your shuttles and other craft, as well as to your Death Star's systems.
Every year or so, make a stop at Al's Pancake House and Super Salvage World. Give your crew a much needed vacation and let Al's equipment attract all that debris away from you. Leave lighter and freer and ready to take on new challenges in planet busting.
