File management - how do you structure your stock and project files?

My general idea about proxy files is, that I would like to delete them all (after completion of a project), without corrupting the project/mlt-structure. Reason being is saving storage space after completion of a project. I assume/hope, in case such project would be opened again, that Shotcut would not throw errors, and rather utilize the original (non-proxy) files for the project, and if required render new proxy files?

This project originally had proxies, but I removed all of them.
I opened the project and as you can see, in the video information the resolution is the original 1920x1080 (not the resolution of a -640x360 proxy file in my case)
Just create the proxy file as I show in the animated GIF.

Another option you have available is to go to Preferences-Proxy-and disable the Use Proxy checkbox. Then check the box again and Shotcut will show you a pop-up window for the creation of the missing proxy files in that project.

My interface is in Spanish, but the location of the menus is the same in English.
