Confused about sessions, albums favourites

I need a little more guidance on organising sessions. After reading the manual I am still a bit uncertain about how to use these features, about how everything fits together and how to get the most out of it. Can anyone point me to a tutorial that gives a fuller description. I am also a little uncertain of how to manage ongoing back-ups of new work and where everything is located.

As an aside, it seems that if I click on a folder in the file tab, C-One puts a bunch of folders in that folder no matter what it is. If I use the folder to tab to scratch around looking for things am I filling up my drive with folders that aren't needed. What's that all about?

Thanks

Martin


Edit - Should've said CO4 Pro

  Hi Martin,
  I assumed you have CO4 Pro since only Pro has the ability to create sessions 😉. I found the sessions concepts confusing myself in the past, and still don't use it today, but it is a very good concept anyway IMHO. My problem in answering your question is that it is not clear what you do/don't understand after reading the manual.
  
  For short, a session organizes the necessary folders (Capture, Output, Trash, MoveTo) and files in these folders. The Capture One Library folder is the first session CO4 creates, and you find a number of folders in. You can easily access these folders contents from within CO4 Library tool tab (Session Folder, at the top). Create a new session anywhere you like (but preferably on an internal HD) and of you go.
  
  Regarding your second question, CO4 creates settings and preview (cache) files in a Capture One subfolder. This is new to Windows users of CO3, familiar to Mac users. Phase One has now chosen this way to organize. There has been quite an amount of discussion here already. In general a tool to clean-up files before backup would be nice and is on their to-do list.
