from pathlib import Path

files = Path().iterdir()

for file in files:
    new_file_path = Path(f'./{file.stem}')
    new_file_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

    for i in range(3):
        p = new_file_path / f'{i + 1}.txt'
        with p.open('w') as nf:
             nf.write('')

I run this script within directory, where I have one.doc, two.doc and three.pdf, for instance. After that I get next:

one/
    1.txt
    2.txt
    3.txt
two/
    1.txt
    2.txt
    3.txt
three/
    1.txt
    2.txt
    3.txt
one.doc
two.doc
three.pdf

I hope, you are able to remove then unused files.
