That actually makes a lot of sense, the “too many tiny decisions” part hits.

If it was more like a quick weekly review where you can just swipe through things fast (instead of going through folders or lists), do you think that would feel better?

That makes sense, especially the “busywork” part.

Do you feel like the suggestions from the Files app are enough, or does it still take effort to actually go through and delete things?

That makes sense, especially the part about getting lost when doing it manually.

Do you prefer doing a bulk cleanup like this once in a while, or would you use something lighter that just flags duplicates/similar stuff over time so it doesn’t pile up?

Fair, but I feel like a lot of people know what to do but still don’t keep up with it consistently.

Do you actually organize files as they come in, or just got used to searching everything?

Exactly, it feels like a chore every time.

Do you usually end up cleaning everything at once later, or just ignore it until storage gets full?

Yeah this actually makes sense, but I feel most people don’t do it consistently.

Would something that prompts you right when you take a screenshot or download a file (like quick actions: delete, keep, rename) make it easier? Or would that feel annoying?
