Ubuntu users can optimize storage space with built-in tools and commands

howtogeek.com

Ubuntu users can manage storage space effectively using various tools. The Disk Usage Analyzer, preinstalled on GNOME systems, helps identify large files and folders. GNOME Disks allows users to manipulate partitions, while the System Monitor provides an overview of disk usage. For command-line options, the `df` command shows disk space details, and `du` helps find the size of specific folders. Users can install `pydf` for a more visual representation of disk usage. To quickly free up space, users can uninstall unused apps, run `sudo apt autoremove` to clear old packages, and clean the apt cache with `sudo apt clean`. Regular maintenance can help keep storage optimized.
