My desktop storage capacity reaches its limit.

How can I visualize my storage partition between files and apps (Android-like) to efficiently dig into the heaviest files?

There are a few ways to do this, including du. A common graphical tool you can use is Baobab.

I prefer use this command line :

du -sh /home/user/*

The result show you the different children with the used space disk. You can of course changer the path with what you want to scan (/var, /opt, ...)
