Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.
I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.
Keep 3 folders on your desktop, “In” “Out” and the trash that’s built in to most DEs. Put things you want out of the way in “In”, move them to “Out” when you’re thinking about getting rid of them, if they’ve been in “Out” a long time move them to trash.
My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I’d absolutely do that.

My downloads folder is only temporary. Like inbox in E-mails.
Why? Just sort by Date

I think there really needs to be a “long term” of some kind. I definitely have files and templates I only use once a year.
That’s what the rest of the drive is for 🤣
Help! Rest of the drive is filled with total junk
