      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

                    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

                            No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

                                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.

                                          Remove unused conda packages and caches:

                                          conda clean --all

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