File cleanup gets harder when every item demands a separate window. Workbench gives the task one visual surface, making it easier to understand a folder before changing it.
Choose one bounded workspace
Start with a single project folder, Downloads, or a small archive. A clear boundary keeps the session finishable and makes the before-and-after result obvious.
Preview before you move
Use visual previews and file details to confirm what an item contains. Group related files, identify duplicates carefully, and make deliberate moves rather than relying on names alone.
Build a repeatable finish
End each session with a simple structure: active work, reference material, completed output, and items ready for deletion. A short weekly review prevents another large cleanup later.
