Clean and organize a downloads folder safely
Sort, deduplicate, and organize chaotic downloads with read-only checks.
Last tested Feb 28, 2026
Access Scope
Local Folders
Your Downloads folder
Permitted Actions
read
write
rename
delete
Why these permissions? Read to scan and inventory; write to create subfolders; rename to move files into their new locations. Delete is never granted — duplicates are moved to a /Review folder for you to decide on.
Workflow Steps
1
Scan the downloads folder (read-only)
Grant read-only access first. Never allow deletions until you have reviewed the plan.
2
Propose an organization structure
Review the proposed folder structure before approving any moves.
3
Identify duplicates and stale files
Review the lists carefully before deciding what to move.
4
Create subfolders
Only create folders at this stage — no file moves yet.
5
Move files into organized folders
Requires write and rename access. Review before confirming.
Cowork Prompt Pack
Cowork-readyScan my downloads folder and give me an inventory report only. List file types, sizes, duplicates, and old files. Do not move or delete anything.
Works best when you limit Cowork to specific folders and verify before destructive actions.
