Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast I’m not good at it.)
Anyway, found a log file at .local/state/nvim/log that was 70gb. I deleted it. Hope it doesn’t bite me. Been pushing around 95% of disk space for a while so this was a huge win 👍
I miss WinDirStat for seeing where all my hard drive space went. You can spot enormous files and folders full of ISOs at a glance.
For bit-for-bit duplicates (thanks, modern DownThemAll), use fdupes.
Filelight on linux
Squirreldisk on windows
Both libre
Qdirstat? https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat Filelight is also really good https://apps.kde.org/filelight/
Qdirstat will not size its damn rectangles properly in Mint. Massive empty voids for no discernible reason.
Filelight is just objectively worse than a grid-based overview.
