A Reddit user recently sparked a debate about the use of disk space, particularly after uninstalling games that still left several GB of data behind. A software called SpaceSniffer was suggested as a solution to this problem. This free tool, which has been around for many years, helps users find remaining files and folders and visualize where space is being used

I got a license years ago as part of a #MacHeist bundle. Not sure if that version would still work on the recent versions of #macOS though...
#SpaceSniffer usually is the go-to alternative for #Windows for me: http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/
I bet #Linux has a GUI one too, though since I've discovered #ncdu I tend to stick to that CLI one. :) (Especially since I primarily use Linux without a WM/DE).

Need to find the biggest disk usage directories from your #CLI / #console? ncurses-based `ncdu` to the rescue!
Thanks to @vermaden 's Ghost in the Shell series https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2018/09/15/ghost-in-the-shell-part-3/ for mentioning it.

On the desktop I tend to use #SpaceSniffer, but this definitely doesn't seem to be a bad alternatively, especially paired with the find_larger_than oneliner I've been using:
`find . -type f -size +200M -exec -ls -lh {} \;`
