Show HN: Check what is hogging your disk zpace

https://github.com/AzisK/Zpace
2•azisk1•2h ago
Hello world! I would like to share that I have created a simple open-source Python CLI app to check what's hogging all the disk space! You can install it with pip. It's like space but Zpace.

pip install zpace

and find the big files consuming your disk space. Be it apps, virtual environments, machine learning models etc. Just run

zpace

Once you find one, that you can say "bye" to, just run

rm -rf /i_dont_need/this/file/right_now

to get rid of it.

It was born out of frustration while lack of disk space prevented me to use my laptop properly. It has been very useful to me so far. I hope that it can be useful to you as well. Feel free to check it out.

Currently tested on MacOS only

I’m on mobile so maybe I’m missing it. But there is no example of the output.

I like ncdu and it even lets you delete from the app.

I did not want to expose what is inside my disk, so I did not share an example but I can do it :D This tool does not let you delete by itself but shows you the size and the path, which you can copy and then remove via terminal

I discovered ncdu after I created this tool and it is neat and very well developed. However, this tools serves a bit different purpose, it focuses on the biggest files in categories, so that I could find what to possibly remove in order to free up space (or move to another place)
