🚀 Hyperspace: The app that liberates your disk space by playing musical chairs with your files! You'd think it was conducting a symphony, but all it does is play a never-ending game of "spot the clone." 🎻 Who knew file redundancy could be so... redundant? 🤦‍♂️

Shoutout to „Storage Analyzer“ by Erik Wegener, a simple, free tool on the AppStore to understand what takes up most space on your disk.

Is your #Mac running out of disk space? Try deleting wallpapers!

I had 45 GB of wallpapers filling up my disk. Newer versions of #macOS download them only when you use them but if you have used your Mac for a long time, every new OS version comes with it’s own wallpaper video and it does not seem to delete old ones.

🥳 Behold, the #savior of disk space: a 9MB 'powerful' app that lets Mac users pretend they don't need Adobe Bridge. Because who needs established software when you can squint at a #GitHub #repo instead? 🦄✨

Having manually just cleared out almost 50GiB of space between just my uv and pip cache folders, I'm wishing #Linux had a good disk space reclaiming tool like the Windows one that offers to clear out temp folders and downloaded cached updates.
Disk space analyzers exist, and they're fine and dandy, but they don't offer to do the 'right' thing to clear space, just "do you want to trash this folder you may know nothing about?"
I probably won't write one.

I had issues with disk space on my Windows 11 laptop running low, and solved them, learning some possibly useful things in the process. I wrote a blog post about it at https://mweston.wordpress.com/2026/05/28/windows-disk-space-learning/

Ah, the classic "I forgot disk space is finite" production saga, now with extra #Haskell and #Nginx for maximum complexity! 😅 Because #servers on a #budget and oversized files are truly the heroes we deserve. 🙄🔧

⚠️ Si uses VS Code via Snap a Linux, vigila el teu disc! 🖥️💾

S'ha detectat un error on els fitxers eliminats no van a la paperera del sistema, sinó a una de tancada dins del Snap que no es buida mai. S'han vist casos de fins a 200 GB de brossa acumulada! 😱

📂 La trobaràs a: ~/snap/code/current/.local/share/Trash

Es recomana passar a la versió .deb o Flatpak per evitar-ho. 🛠️

If you're running out of disk space or just like to keep your drive lean and mean, consider running multiple disk-sweeping apps instead of just one. I'll show you how running Disk Graph, Space Lens, GrandPerspective, and OmniDiskSweeper saved 110GB on my laptop.

🧐🤔 Oh dear, someone forgot their crystal ball and now their *foreseeable future* is shorter than their boot partition! Who knew allocating storage would be as tricky as predicting the weather? 🌦️💾 Maybe next time, consult a psychic before declaring victory over disk space! 🪄🔮

Krótki, ale wartościowy tekst nie tylko o tym, jak zmniejszyć rozmiar bazy danych PostgreSQL, ale też o tym, jak to prawidłowo zdiagnozować i jako może pomóc w tym model językowy. Ciekawa lektura.

I think the last WinDirStat v1 release was around 2005-7? It remained my tool of choice for showing disk usage.
So what a pleasant surprise to see that it has been revived, and v2 releases are now happening!

Low disk space on /var ... wtf?
Oh, accumulated /var/lib/flatpak/repo/tmp/flatpak-cache-* directories..

If you want to clean up your Mac hard disk and don’t know where to start, GrandPerspective is a great starting point. It visualizes the content of your harddisk. With this its really easy to identify which app causes the loss of disk space.

Hmm. Ich sollte auch mal den #Diskspace-Bedarf von meinem #Matrix-#Server etwas in die Schranken weisen... wo geht der ganze Speicher hin?

After hours spent deleting a few 100 MB here and there of actually useful stuff, I finally realized why my Win10 partition #diskspace was filling up. Yeeted 8.2 GB of Adobe Reader and Dropbox updates, and that's just the bits I felt confident about. #DoesItSparkJoy
