I freed 30GB using Filelight

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Don't worry. English for clmminicarion is just fine. It was not meant to be malicious.
I just saw this video sooo many times, it was kind of a standard response.BÄÄM is like the German version of BOOM in comics.
Therefore "BÄM Lee" because he knocks people out with one punch.Its spoken like the beginning of BAd behaviour. Maybe that's helpful.

That's very normal if you don't have any KDE apps. If you were using KDE and installed a GNOME app it'd be similar.

side note: wiztree performs better on windows than windirstat, radically faster scans
now I feel dirty talking about windows here..
There was something about wiztree that kept me using windirstat. I don't think it's free software.

You could try baobab instead.

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

I didn't think either were, but yea wiztree is pretty classically shareware

It's a KDE application, yes.

Personally I'm loving diskonaut. "Graphical" representation but at, ahem, terminal velocity.

Excellent! I missed DaisyDisn. It looks great!

It doesn't mean For Real? Jk

The always huge and killing my system space:
- pacman cache
- docker bullshit
- flatpaks
- journalctl files!
In case you don't already know about it, paccache (part of the pacman-contrib package) will let you easily remove old packages from the pacman cache

My little widget to get the weather, Blazing Fast Uber Duper made in Rust, has like 85 total dependencies from like 3 crates that I need...
My own software is a hard pass for myself...
That's great!
Another thing that is great, since we are talking about disk space: people, check your Rust repositiry, it might be huge.
I deleted that folder and, in my case, freed 12gb. Not too shabby.

Ncdu is my go-to tool. Can't live without it on the servers I administer. However from this thread I've also learned about gdu and diskonaut, that I need to check out.

I'm à qdirstat guy : https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat
I believe FileLight (in OP above) is a fork of or built on top of QDirstat.

I like Bleachbit but I'll check this out

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
I can see you're not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

I use dua, but this looks neat too.
-
I use
du -hs * | sort -hdu -sxk | sort -ngotta find those hidden files too! -

My dad's Linux setup couldn't log in. After a bit of investigation, starting the session manually and so on, i got a hunch and indeed; i saw in Baobab that the backup script took the wrong disk, filled up the one with home, making it slow, so the log-in thingie timed out, failing the session.
