Is there a way to create a new folder under my "Home" directory, which currently contains 3 folders, Library, Boot Camp and Notebooks?
Please dont tell me the "/" trick. That does not create a legitimate folder.

What do you mean that "/" doesn't create a legitimate directory? The forward-slash "/" is the root directory for your organization account.Â

Hi Don,Â
when you open/create a project in your Home directory, you can rename your project in the upper left corner. Just add your folder name with a forward slash in front of your project name. It should look like this:Â
<new_folder>/<project_name>
This will automatically create a new folder named <new_folder> in the home directory.Â
Otherwise you can create new folders via Skylight as you are used to by the file explorer of your local machine. The new folder should be visible in the web ide after sync.Â

What of deleting the folder after creating it?

Hi Micah,
I believe that if:
1- The folder is a project, you can simply delete the project, that will delete the folder.
2- The folder contains projects, if you delete all projects inside, the folder might deletes automatically when empty (not 100% sure but it can be tried).
