let's take a look at some tools to keep an eye on disk usage.
### du
`du` (short for `d`isk `u`sage) is the go-to tool.
common switches include:
* `-h`: human readable
* `-s`: summarize
* `-c`: total
example:
to see the disk usage of the current directory, run:
du -sh
check the manpage for more information and additional switches
### ncdu
`ncdu` (short for `nc`urses `d`isk `u`sage) is extremely useful for visualizing
disk usage.
call `ncdu` with no args to recurse starting in the current directory or
pass a dir name to start there
try it on your `$HOME` and see which files and dirs are taking up the most
space.
press `?` to see additional keybinds once you've started it up. you can change
the sort order, open a shell, and delete files without closing the program.
### df
`df` (short for `d`isk `f`ree) lists mounted disks with usage, free space,
and capacity. try it out from your shell to get a quick glance at total
disk usage
don't forget to use `-h` to get human readable units.
