qsirch can give the basic size for media types in general, or filter by file size presets, or filter by specific filesize range, and also sort ascending/descending. I'm currently on a nintendo dsi so I can't check now but I'm sure kdirstat will work on xcfe I also have kde in case I need it (along w/ pretty much every other DE). *recap just only ran across this limitation while i was using qsirch and qfilling finding the junk on my qnap x_x now it's more or less squeaky clean, but i still need to look up like sub folders with many small files that may be outdated. Is there a linux equivalent of windirstat Thanks. Would be nice if future enhancements of Qsirch could develop some means of this, to expand the use of the existing graphical representation for storage size allocated to folders/sub folders for the user to analyze their space usage more meaningfully. The program can scan local partitions or entire hard disk.

Linux users should try KDirStat or others such as Baobab (a component module of the gnome-utils package). Mac® OS X® users should use Disk Inventory X or GrandPerspective alternatives.

Anyway this is my observation from what qsirch is lacking in terms of analyzing sub folders space utilization. WinDirStat is a free, open-source disk usage analyzer and cleanup software for Microsoft® Windows®. Windirstat is also another app that does this in a different style personally i prefer treesize's approach to it, as it's much simpler and cleaner. then i can browse into these sub locations to further inspect which of those within are taking up the most space. as you can see it shows bar indicating storage size used. GitHub - windirstat/windirstat: WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for various versions of Microsoft Windows.

But what i also wanted, was someway to identify sub folders file sizes in comparison to others, so i can then narrow down that way to see if these biggest folder locations are in need of any trimming down of content to reduce size. WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for various versions of Microsoft Windows. instead in qsirch it lists by individual files, their filesizes which can be sorted. But it seems like it doesn't necessarily tell you the sub folders file size. Currently, qsirch gives you a colored bar to indicate how much space is taken up by specific media types e.g.
