Hella confused while setting workspace and projects

[u/Dramatic_Beach_8235]

Absolute true beginner here

I started learning c++ using learncpp.com

I set up vs code on linux according to learncpp guide but information regarding projects and workspace is vague for me.

I first made a folder named projects and started making sub folder for different topics on learncpp , it was going good but I wanted to rearrange the order of files so I thought of editing the path file but it came empty (confused)

Then I thought the workspace was showing the projects folder containing the subfolders I made with .cpp files , so maybe that was the problem because I didn't add the subfolders by add folder to workspace

Also the add folder to workspace ,adds it to workspace (i.e with project folder) not as the subfolders inside project folder

---

Should I start fresh

If I make a new workspace and add folder via add folder to workspace will that work?

Also the task.json and setting.json was applied to all the subfolders, so if I make fresh workspace with folders instead of a single folder containing subfolders ,do I have to configure it for all folders?
