# Clean Up Item Layout In Finder Window
Sometimes while doing a bunch of manual drag-n-drop of files and folders in a
Finder.app window, I'll end up with a visual mess. Compared to other folders,
nothing is organized on the grid.
I can tell Finder.app to clean that up with the _Clean Up_ menu option.
While focused on the folder that I'm concerned about, I can go to _View_ >
_Clean Up_ in the top menu. Everything will snap into place.
On the specific Finder.app window, there is also a triple-dot actions menu that
appears on the top right. The _Clean Up_ action is available there as well.
There is also a _Clean Up By_ option which is a nice way to organize by some
attribute, such as the type (e.g Folder/File and extension).
