    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.

      And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.

      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.

                  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.

                            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.

                                        Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.
