I have the same issue

Same here. 500 GB SSD but it says I have 990 GB of releasable space!

I found a way to circumvent this! The problem, as also depicted in the screenshot above, is that it for some reason includes the current directory as a whole, and even all parent directories up to the user directory.

To prevent this you can try adding these parameters: -d . (in context npx npkill -d .), which explicitly tells npkill to look in this very directory and downwards. It worked for me, and didn't include my entire user directory!

Hey @danielpox good discovery!!!
It seems that all the problems some users have related to the spacing issue is caused by that (but you couldn't tell unless you used the --sort size parameter to make it clearly visible).

This same issue is open here #40 , so I'll close this one to focus the discussion there.
