How do I get back to a clean-up's progress after closing the window?
Short answer: Reopen Emergency Space and press Show progress, or click the Moving… pill on the row in What's Using Space. Closing the window never stops the job, and a relaunch re-attaches to it.
Reopen the screen you started from. In Emergency Space, a Show progress button takes you back to the running job. For a single move started from What's Using Space, the row shows a Moving… pill — click it and the progress sheet returns.
Closing or hiding the window never stops the work; moving files is a background job. If you quit and relaunch Storage Studio in the middle of a move, it re-attaches to the move automatically.
When it's done, What's Using Space shows where everything ended up. See can I stop a clear-up halfway if you want to end it early.
