Managing Code

I'm wanting to go through a few directories of source files and kinda clean up the place. I'm sure some files are tests and can be removed. Others might have been temporary utilities or somesuch. I know we have programmers here working with huge code bases. How do you guys manage the code? I'm using mercurial for versioning/archiving/whatever-it's-called, but would like ideas on actually managing the lines of code and code files themselves.
Here's what I'm contemplating: go through each source file and put comments about what the file does. After reviewing all that code, I should have a better handle on what code is where and what it does. Then I might refactor into directories? Just maintain a database of code-dependencies? Are there automated tools for this? Seems Euphoria has a program that will list all dependencies for a source file.
Thanks, smarty-pantses!
