Filelight
Filelight visualizes disk usage and helps identify files that can be removed to free space.
About Filelight
Filelight is an application that shows how disk space is used on a computer. It displays folders as concentric rings, so users can see which folders take up the most space. The homepage lists Linux and Windows as platforms. On Linux it can be installed through Discover or other AppStream application stores, through the distribution's package manager, or from Flathub.
Filelight can scan local, remote, or removable disks and show detailed information about files and folders. Users can delete files or folders from within the application. It also integrates with the Dolphin, Konqueror, and Krusader file managers. The homepage does not describe confirmation or undo steps for deletion, so users should check how deletion works before removing files.
