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 👍

    Maybe, but I need it one time per year or so. It is not a task for which I want to install a separate tool.

      Perfect for your use case, not as much for others. People sharing tools, and all the different ways to solve this type of problem is great for everyone.
