What is the easiest first step to organize Downloads on a Mac?

Select a group of files whose destination is clear, then move, copy, archive, or rename them. You do not need to organize the whole folder in one pass.

When should I move a file instead of copying it?

Move it when only one version is needed. Copy it when you want to keep a version in Downloads or create a backup first.

Should temporary files be deleted immediately?

For files you may still need, scheduling them to move to Trash later is safer. Empty Trash after you are sure they are no longer needed.
