I freed 30GB using Filelight
-
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
~/.cacheand~/Downloads-- "free" automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not. -
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. -
Does Linux have spacesniffer?
-
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
-
I love Filelight. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.
-
No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.
-
Y'all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense
Oh shit, he's onto us!
-
I might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.
-
Cheese it!
-
(This is a joke don’t do this or you’ll ruin your computer)
-
Remove unused conda packages and caches:
conda clean --all
If you are a Python developer, this can easily be several or tens of GB.
-
ah, this filter by timestamp might be very useful to me, thanks
-
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.
