CODECOMPOSER: New CCS workspace question as it is SO different from Eclipse

I assume you are referring to CCS 20. Yeah, based on a completely new IDE framework so lots have certainly changed.

I cannot seem to find any buttons related to 'switch workspace'

The equivalent would be "File -> Open Folder". This is essentially "switching" to a new workspace folder.

Adding a folder would be opening another folder in the same Explorer, creating a multi-root workspace.

Please see the User's Guide for more details on workspaces: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide_ccs/ccs_project-management.html#adding-folders

A bigger issue seems to be I pointed it to a folder on my drive with all my firmware projects (guessing now this is my new workspace) and it now seems impossible to remove certain folders like with the old version without the delete sending it to trash?

Workspaces are even more folder based than before and the Explorer view is representative of the file system so whatever folders exist in the new workspace folder will be visible unless it is explicitly hidden
