        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.

                    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.

                          Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)

                            I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.

                                      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.
