# Creating Folders
In mcbCode, folders are used to structure and organize your project files. Grouping related files into folders helps maintain a clean project hierarchy, making projects easier to navigate and manage.
## Creating a Folder
Follow these steps to create a new folder in your project:
1. Open your project in the mcbCode editor.
2. Locate the **File Explorer** panel.
3. Click the **New Folder** button or icon in the File Explorer toolbar.
4. Enter the desired folder name.
5. Press **Enter** or select the confirm action.
6. The new folder will immediately appear in the File Explorer hierarchy.
## Notes
* **Structure:** Folders can contain files as well as nested subfolders.
* **Organization:** Organizing projects into folders is recommended for larger projects to keep assets and source files structured.
* **Managing Folders:** Folders can be renamed or deleted later, provided those operations are supported by your current editor view and permissions.
## Troubleshooting
### Folder Was Not Created
Ensure that you pressed **Enter** or confirmed the folder creation prompt. Check that your network connection is active.
### Folder With the Same Name Already Exists
mcbCode does not allow duplicate folder names within the same directory level. Provide a unique name for the new folder.
### Create Option Is Unavailable
If the option to create a folder is disabled or missing, you likely do not have edit permissions for the project. Only the project owner or authorized collaborators can create folders.
> **Note:** Nested depth limits, forbidden character restrictions for directory names, and automatic cleanup of empty folders cannot be confirmed based on current documentation specifications.
