If you're on Windows, WizTree (https://diskanalyzer.com/) is great for figuring out what's consuming your storage space.

On Linux/macOS you can use `du` from the command line (or ask an AI to make a convenience wrapper for you).

I like erdtree or dust instead of du.

On Linux, ncdu is really good in the terminal. Filelight on KDE and Baobab on Gnome are really nice GUIs.

I've yet to encounter any issues with gdu for linux. Highly reccomended

Thats a pretty bold claim, but is it really that much faster?

DaisyDisk is also a great option on Mac.
