I seek to preserve the sequences in a project that are most important to me before I get rid of the rest. I have built up a long list of sequences and files that aren't what I need. My goal is to have one sequence that represents the most up to date version of what I am working on. My current strategy is to create a "dump bin" that allows me to remove unwanted sequences and other files from my site without risking deleting anything I might pass over to quickly. The problem with that is that the dump bin is difficult to reach once I have started to click and drag the files I want to remove. Any suggestions about workspaces to use would be helpful! Thanks. Adam.

Are you doing this click and dragging in the Project Panel? If so, once the Project Panel is active (highlighted) press the tilde key "~" (usually directly below the Escape key) to bring that panel full screen. That should give you more real estate to move things around. To restore the panel back to its original size/place, press the tilde "~" key again.
My general workflow for sequences is to keep a folder/bin called archived for older timelines. As you duplicate to revise a current one, I put the older one in the archive folder, only keeping the active sequence in the sequences folder top level.
I keep other top level folders for Original media, GFX, Audio, SFX, etc.
To get an unorganized project's assets in hand, use the column sort feature to see your assets organized by type. MtD's advice for the tilde key is essential for seeing all your assets.
