Disk Usage is a file system analyzer: it offers a tabulated view of file listings sorted by size. Directory sizes are computed recursively. The results are cached for speed.
This package answers the shortcomings of dired-du (notably that it’s not able
to sort by size, see calancha/dired-du#2). It also
aims at replacing other, more limited disk analyzers such as ncdu.
Get the package, either from Guix or ELPA:
M-x package-install RET disk-usage RET
Or clone / download this repository and modify your load-path.
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/path/to/this-package/" user-emacs-directory))
Load the package with
(require 'disk-usage)
Warning: BSD and macOS users need `gdu`, the “GNU du” from the “GNU coreutils”.
Run disk-usage or disk-usage-here to display a listing. See describe-mode
to display additional bindings, such as disk-usage-dired-at-point to open a
dired buffer for the current directory.
Instead of displaying only the current folder, disk-usage can also display
files in all subfolders recursively with disk-usage-toggle-recursive.
Marked files can be trashed with `disk-usage-delete-marked-files’. When called with a prefix argument, files are deleted permanently.
Run disk-usage-by-types to display statistics of disk usage by file
extensions.
With a prefix argument, cache is updated when reverting the buffer.
With disk-usage-add-filters you can filter out files with arbitrary
predicates, e.g. files bigger than some size or older than a certain number of
days.
disk-usage also works with TRAMP, i.e. in folders with restricted-acess like
/sudo::/root or on remote machines.
You can customize options in the disk-usage group.
