If you often work with large or many files on the Raspberry Pi, you will sooner or later face the problem that the available memory runs out. That's what happened to me in any case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially with several distributed files, it is not so easy to get an overview of which files and folders consume how much memory. Without further tools you have to switch to each folder individually, list the file content including file size to get an overview of the largest files. Quite cumbersome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tool that makes this process much easier is called \"ncdu\". How to install this tool and how to use it is described in the following article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety instructions <\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.<\/span>
