About this application
Filelight is a Linux application from KDE for examining how storage space is used. It scans folders or disks and presents their contents as a visual map, so large directories and files can be found by following the structure of the filesystem. The program is intended for cases where a user wants to understand why a disk is filling up, rather than browsing file names one by one.
After analysis, Filelight can be used as a guide for removing items that are no longer needed. Its role is focused on disk-usage inspection and cleanup decisions: it shows where space is allocated and helps the user identify candidates for deletion. It is distributed under the GPL-2.0-or-later license and is listed here for Linux systems.
