I want to share this tool I’m really loving - ncdu - because it made the job of finding the largest files and folder on my PC really, really simple. NCDU stands for, “NCurses Disk Usage”. It’s meant to help you see what’s taking up your disk space from a Linux terminal (aka CLI).

On Ubuntu / Debian, I installed it with a standard sudo apt install ncdu command. It’s small and that’s all there is to installing it. Ubuntu gives me a pretty old version but it still works very well for my purposes. Follow your usual methods for installing apps on other distros, or visit its repo and build it from source.
