• Idk if this is r/techsupportgore or r/softwaregore

  Something that helps me is If you want to reformat, Winderstat scans your drive and shows you the size of every folder, plus a visual representation so you see whats taking up more space exactly. Source: 8 months ago

• 2 issues, not enough disk space to open some stuff on my computer, and defragmenting has been stuck at 75 percent for hours.

  Delete some things to get a bit of space, then download windirstat. This application scans your drive and provides a nice way to see your whole drive and what's taking up the most space. You can manually click on each colored area and delete entire directories instead of trying to hunt down whats taking up space. Source: 10 months ago

• Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage

  Have been using ncdu for more than a decade, and recently started using diskonaut for similar purposes. Was looking for a terminal-based treemap visualization for analyzing disk usage and stumbled upon diskonaut, which is exactly that. https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best way to find directories that are filling up my partition?

  My favorite tool for this is diskonaut -- it's quicker than repeatedly running du and pleasant to use. Source: over 1 year ago

• Manage Disk Usage from the Terminal

  For a visual person like me, diskonaut is especially useful. It draws the space in rectangles on the screen that you can navigate into. If you resize the terminal it redraws the boxes. Source: over 1 year ago

• AltWinDirStat

  Https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut It's in Rust, which I don't code, but it is if anyone cares about such things. It works fast, is easy to use, and looks pretty. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• How to learn Rust by own tiny applications?

  A lot of unix-y tools have been rewritten in rust, where the usefulness comes from it being faster or having more features. Examples: bat, cw, lsd, ripgrep, diskonaut, gping. Maybe you could find an interesting program to rewrite? Source: over 2 years ago
