file_catdictionary. -
User-Friendly GUI: Provides a simple Tkinter interface to select the folder to be organised.

Run the Script: Execute
file_organiser.py(or the executable file if you've created one). -
Select Folder: Click the "Select the Folder You Wish to Organise" button and choose the folder you want to clean up.
-
Automatic Organization: The script will create folders for each category and move the files to the respective folders.
-
Check the Console: Observe the console output for messages indicating the progress and any potential errors.

You can easily customize the file categories and their corresponding folder names by modifying the file_cat dictionary in the script.
