Find the project you'd like to move into a folder. Long-click on the project and drag it into the folder. 

If the folder is nearby as a thumbnail, you can drop it there, or if not, drag the project over the name of the folder in the list located on the left-hand side.

Renaming folders

Go to your My projects page and click on the folder you'd like to rename from the list on the left-hand side.

You can only delete a folder if it is empty. If you try to delete a folder that contains projects, you'll see a warning advising you to move the projects before you can delete the folder.
