Another idea is not to use Drag-and-Drop feature at all. Then you never need Indicator Maintenance Wizard and you always know where exactly each indicator is stored. Instead of right clicking on indicators always use:
indicator pane - r-click - insert linked
Then save AFL files from file name box (middle-top in Editor window) or with File-SaveAs. And move them between folders using r-click drag-drop as explained by TJ.
If you decide to try this then it's a good idea to get the Drag-Drop folder visible and check from time to time if you didn't drop something there by mistake:
preferences - AFL tab - show hidden folders = ON
I've been doing this for quite a while and almost forgot that something called Indicator Maintenance Wizard is part of AB.

It involvews a bit more work

I go and run the Wizard, can't really decide which to delete and delete the unnamed ones and then several days later, here comes the warning. I should not that the unnamed list seems to reappear each time I run the Wizard even though I deleted Unnamed formulas the day before.
