Beginner Gardening: My Ficus is starting to die!, 1 by rochellekneale

I recently bought a baby Ficus from Ikea and me, not knowing what to do with it put it on a windowsill and watered it every day which might've been the worst thing to do... I have now moved it to a shadier area, pruned it (to the best of my abilities) and I am planning to only water it only when the top 2-3CM of top soil is dry in the future. Do you think this is enough or should I be doing more to save my beautiful tree? I'm fairly new to this plant malarky... Thankyou. The picture is my tree now after removing a LOT of dead leaves and small branches.
