I freed 30GB using Filelight

I was confused what you meant by background colour thing so I went to
dust
docs haha.Now I got you. It's a codeblock so it shows in monospace font. Look up .md formatting for tips.
In this case its a word between backticks `

Ah, right, it's the
inline code
. Mindslip. Thanks! -
Jesus, that rustup folder is HUGE

flatpak install flathub org.kde.filelight

I'm new to docker and all of my shit stopped working recently. Just wouldn't load. Took about a half hour to find out that old images were taking up about 63GB on my 100GB boot partition, resulting in it being completely full.
I added the command to prune 3 month old images to my update scripts.

[moonpie@osiris ~]$ du -h $(which filelight) 316K /usr/bin/filelight
K = kilobytes.
[moonpie@osiris ~]$ pacman -Ql filelight | awk '{print $2}' | xargs du | awk '{print $1}' | paste -sd+ | bc 45347740
(45347740 bytes is 43.247 megabytes).
KDE packages have many dependencies, which cause the packages themselves to be extremely tiny. By sharing a ton of code via libraries, they save a lot of space.

I normally use
rm
for that. Orwipefs
if I'm feeling particularly spicy. -
Filelight is about finding the folders you don't use that take a lot of space. Basically an easier way to look into which folder takes up what.

Wooosh

Personally I'm a huge fan of dust
-
Yeah, it's really not called out in the docs. I found out the same way.
-
--cache option
I will check this out!

Oh that's funny x3
