Drive cleanup playbook — never lose a file again.
Triage 50 files at a time, approve in batches, and let Claude move them where they belong. Done in an afternoon.
Overview
Most working professionals have a Drive root that looks like a dumping ground. The cleanup playbook turns an afternoon's work into an hour, and the maintenance after is a 10-minute weekly habit.
Step 1 — triage
Ask Claude: "Look at the top 50 files in the root of my Drive. For each: one-sentence summary, suggested folder, and whether it looks important, routine, or stale. Don't move anything yet — give me a table."
You'll review the table for 10 minutes and approve in batches.
Step 2 — approve and move
"Move the routine ones into the folders you suggested. Skip stale ones — I'll deal with those separately."
Repeat in batches of 50 until your root is clean.
Step 3 — weekly maintenance
Add a Friday recurring task: "Look at any files created or moved to root this week. Suggest a folder for each."
Five minutes once a week and the root stays clean forever.
