      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

                    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.

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

                          There's also QDirStat which is like KDirStat but without KDE dependencies.

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

                            sudo rm -rf /
                            

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

                              Remove unused conda packages and caches:

                              conda clean --all

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

                                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.

                                  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.
