## Deleted Files

### Temporary Files (12 files):
- .tmp_* (2 files)
- tmp_*.log (10 files)

### Build Artifacts:
- *.o files (46 files) - via make clean
- Old executables - rebuilt via make

### External Sources:
- glibc-2.38/ (238MB)
- glibc-2.38.tar.gz* (2 files)

## Remaining Root Files (Core Only)

### Documentation (6 files):
- README.md
- DOCS_INDEX.md
- ENV_VARS.md
- SOURCE_MAP.md
- QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- MID_MT_COMPLETION_REPORT.md (current work)

### Source Files:
- Benchmark sources: bench_*.c (10 files)
- Test sources: test_*.c (28 files)
- Other .c files as needed

### Build System:
- Makefile
- build_*.sh scripts

## Active Scripts (29 scripts)

### Benchmarking:
- **scripts/run_mid_mt_bench.sh** ⭐ Mid MT main benchmark
- **scripts/compare_mid_mt_allocators.sh** ⭐ Mid MT comparison
- scripts/run_bench_suite.sh
- scripts/bench_mode.sh
- scripts/bench_large_profiles.sh

### Application Testing:
- scripts/run_apps_with_hakmem.sh
- scripts/run_apps_*.sh (various profiles)

### Memory Efficiency:
- scripts/run_memory_efficiency*.sh
- scripts/measure_rss_tiny.sh

### Utilities:
- scripts/kill_bench.sh
- scripts/head_to_head_large.sh

## Directories

### Core:
- `core/` - HAKMEM implementation
- `scripts/` - Active scripts
- `docs/` - Documentation

### Benchmarking:
- `bench_results/` - Current & historical benchmark results (865 files)
- `perf_data/` - Performance profiling data (28 files)

### Archive:
- `archive/` - Historical documents and experimental work (71 files)

### New Structure (Frontend/Backend Plan):
- `adapters/` - Frontend adapters (1 file)
- `engines/` - Backend engines (1 file)
- `include/` - Public headers (1 file)

### External:
- `mimalloc-bench/` - Benchmark suite (submodule)

## Impact

- **Disk space saved**: ~250MB (glibc sources + build artifacts)
- **Repository clarity**: 62% reduction in root files
- **Organization**: Historical work properly archived
- **Active work**: Mid MT benchmarks clearly identified

## Notes

- All archived files are preserved and can be restored if needed
- Build artifacts can be regenerated with `make`
- External sources (glibc) can be re-downloaded if needed
- Recent Mid MT benchmark logs kept in `bench_results/` for easy access

## Next Steps

- Continue Mid MT optimization work
- Use `scripts/run_mid_mt_bench.sh` for benchmarking
- Refer to archived phase2/ docs for historical context
- Maintain clean root directory for new work
