            I'm here to promote fclones. I've used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I'm not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven't used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I'm planning to test it out eventually, but the latest fclones run was only about a month ago, so it doesn't make sense to try it yet.

                I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:

                sudo rm -rf /
                

                Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".

                    Nah, in a rolling distro it's normal, they were mostly unused stuff hide in /home, and useless yay pkg.

                      This is why I've set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/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.

                            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

                                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 might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.
