Linux Disk Browser: A Scoped Workflow for du, df, and Visual Views
Compare filesystem capacity with directory observations, keep permission gaps visible, and build a reproducible Linux storage report.
READ THE GUIDETurn a large-file finding into a reproducible observation.
A storage audit begins with an explicit question and a defined location. The guides collected here explore that habit across local drives, operating systems, cloud listings, and visual maps. Do not compare a whole-volume total with a selected-folder total as though they describe the same scope. Keep the path, measurement label, account context, and any inaccessible locations next to your notes.
Read the general audit first, then choose a platform or storage model. For a repeat inspection, record what you changed in the method as well as what changed in the files. A smaller result is meaningful only when the observations are comparable. End with a short list of findings, owners, and checks rather than an unexplained deletion target.
