I freed 30GB using Filelight
-
That's when you know it's time for a fresh install
Nah, in a rolling distro it's normal, they were mostly unused stuff hide in /home, and useless yay pkg.
-
And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
This is why I've set up a ramdisk on
~/.cacheand~/Downloads-- "free" automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not. -
last year I had over 1TB freed by docker system prune on a dev VM. If you're building images often, that's a mandatory command to run once in a while.
I create a cron job with something like:
docker system prune -af --filter="until=XXh"where XX is on the order of a few days. -
And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
Does Linux have spacesniffer?
-
Is this a Linux version of windirstat?
There's a more direct version of that, I guess from KDE, called KdirStat.
I hadn't heard of the one in the op. But if I had to guess, it looks like it's a different take on the same idea.

Clean all the cache downloads of Arch Linux Packages
pacman -Scc
Remove unused docker networks and images
docker system prune --all
Cleanup untracked git files that might be in .gitignore such as build and out directories (beware of losing data, use "n" instead of "f" for a dry run)
git clean -xdf
Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)
git gc --aggressive --prune=now
Remove old journal logs, keeping last seven days
journalctl --vacuum-time 7days
Remove pip cache
pip cache purge

Omfg.
I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.
And now there'sa thread on this exact topic. Y'all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense, Baader-Meinhof alone isn't enough to explain how frequently shit like this happens. XD

I love Filelight. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

Oh shit, he's onto us!

Cheese it!

I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:
sudo rm -rf /Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".
(This is a joke don’t do this or you’ll ruin your computer)

Remove unused conda packages and caches:

If you are a Python developer, this can easily be several or tens of GB.

I don't think you'll need to do that, unless you are planning to download files that are over 4Gb long and/or you are using a potato that has less than 1 Gb of ram.
t. I've set my entire ram into a ramdisk, and the performance actually IMPROVED compared to not setting a ramdisk at all.
