Folder in Project Explorer

Is there a possibility to create folders in which to place projects in order to better visually organize all those in the workspace?

For example in the picture below there is only a small part of the long list of my projects in "Project Explorer" ... can I create folders visible in the "Project Explorer" in which to place/categorize projects?

I kindly ask is there anyone can guide me step by step because in the past I made some mistakes that cost me the loss of some projects I don't know in what remote parts of the computer

You can't create folders, but you can organize your workspace into working sets, which is effectively the same thing.

Set up your workspace to show working sets at the top-level instead of projects:

Then create working sets and add your projects to them within Select Working Set... -> New -> C/C++ -> (select projects)

Thank you.

It should appear like this, right?

You got it. It's a little more organized that way, right?

So if I want to view all projects (as in the original post) I select "No Working Sets," right?

What is the difference between "Selected Working Sets" and "Window Working Sets"?

(I understood "Selected Working Sets" obviously, but not "Window Working Sets").

Yes

It looks like "Window Working Sets" is the same as "No Working Sets" for me, but I'm not sure on the details or intention here.

This behavior is all inherited from Eclipse, upon which STM32CubeIDE is built. You can google stuff like "eclipse working sets tutorial" and probably learn some more details.
