Some examples are name, date, tags, size, file type, author, title, and more. Noticed the View tab inside a folder? You can use it to sort data in many ways. How many text files can you make, and how do you even search their contents? It will help you take better notes, search, and edit, and do so much more. We have covered so many over the years on GT. One example can be creating folder structure by company, city, department, person, and project.Ī lot of users have a weird habit. Move files to these folders and keep adjusting as needed along the way.

Try using a pen and paper or a mind mapping tool to create a structure that makes sense.

Right-click anywhere to create a new folder or use the top bar. That way, everything will be neat, and you will find it easier to drill down to the required folder. Create folders and sub-folders in a logical structure. I noticed some of my friends like to save all files inside a single folder.

That should empty a lot of space, making room for new trash in the future. I suggest you either delete these files and folders or move them to an external hard disk or pen drive. They are old, redundant, and no longer serve their purpose. And we don't need a lot of these files ever. There is just so much data on our computers but we don't use half of them daily. Do you know what the other problem is? Storing files is easy, searching, and retrieving them are hard. And before we know it, there are way too many folders and files. What if 'we need it someday' is the story we tell ourselves. Just like our houses, we like to store junk on computers too. It's time you check the subtle art of managing files and folders on Windows 10 computers. We often end up buying an external hard disk and soon beef it up as well. Files and folders tend to accumulate over time on our Windows computers.
