    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.

        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

                      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 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.
