Disk space on my root partition is running low, so I want to delete some applications from the system. How can I see which software packages use the most disk space? Is it possible to view that from aptitude?I know about generic disk space analyzers like df or baobab, but I need solutions for installed applications.
Which installed software packages use the most disk space on Debian?
apt;disk usage
Easiest is to run wajig large. The package should be an apt-install-away.Here's two links for other ways of doing it:List your largest installed packages (on Debian/Ubuntu)LIst all installed packages in size orderAlso remember that the installed size is just part of the space taken up by packages.  The compressed version is probably still in the cache, and that takes up some space too. You can remove those with apt-get clean.
