DRAE gives both of these words the same meaning (to remove the dust).
We generally use "desempolvar" in México.( at least in the north)
In your spanish speaking region,which word do you use?
Tell us you region too please!

Jamás había oido "despolvorear" . Acabo de ver en el diccionario que existe esa palabra.

It's in there! - pacofinkler, Mar 15, 2011
I'm not saying it isn't, just that I've never heard it before. Of course, since I joined SD I have learned about a lot of things I had never heard before! :-) - Gekkosan, Mar 15, 2011
Neither have I , but your exposure to the different regions is much greater. - pacofinkler, Mar 15, 2011
