Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I empty the trash, show a safety summary: top ten largest trashed files with their original locations and last editors, any files in trash with active share links, and a projection of reclaimed storage. Flag any files modified in the last 30 days so I can pause on those.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Storage hit quota warning and I hurried to empty trash.
I just received a quota warning and emptied trash without checking; now I’m worried I deleted something recent. I can’t tell which large files I removed. What immediate checks recover the most likely important files, and how can I safely reclaim space without risking more accidental loss?

Become — change the pattern
+We scramble to empty trash every month for quota.
Every month we scramble to free space by emptying trash and then someone loses critical files. Help me design a durable routine: how to monitor trash growth, a one-week review before permanent deletion, and a policy for team owners to approve final emptying. Which three metrics should we track to stop last-minute panic?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
