I have something similar: a "garbage" folder in my downloads folder, and when I tire of the clutter I put all of it, including "garbage", into a new "garbage" folder. It's garbage all the way down.

I have a "Unsorted-NEW" and "Unsorted-OLD". When everything is too cluttered I rename "Unsorted-NEW" to "Unsorted-Number" and move it to "Unsorted-OLD" along with the previous iterations. Then I make a new "Unsorted-NEW" and put the clutter in it. Which I'm totally going to sort and not just leave there and forget about it until everything's too cluttered again...

... ... ... that actually made more sense before I tried to explain 😓

I have a separate download folder as a dump. It's now at 550GB
