      Maybe a VM look at it. Thanks for the feedback!<br>

                    <p>Howdy all,</p>
                    <p>I bought a on-sale laptop. It's an: ASUS VivoBook
                      15.6" FHD Laptop, Quad-Core Ryzen 5 2500U
                      Processor (up to 3.6 GHz) with Radeon Vega 8
                      Graphics, 8 GB DDR4, 256 GB M.2 SSD, 802.11ac
                      Wi-Fi - F505ZA-DH51. It's a race car for me at
                      least. I downloaded Ubunu 19.04 and made a
                      bootable USB drive and installed. Boy is it good
                      looking! I can't wait to get all of my data
                      migrated but I am. As you see the SSD is not so
                      large as the 1TB I have on my old ACER. I thought
                      that I was using about 45% disk space and was not,
                      of course, worried because the drive is so large
                      capacity. I never finished migrating all of my
                      data from my previous and hosed 500GBSSD that Mark
                      helped, or actually did, save so I have some
                      scattered data on the ACER and on the 500SSD. In
                      prepping to start moving stuff around I used the
                      GUI Disk Analyzer and very much to my surprise I
                      found files of up to 49GB!! I have 5 or 6 WINE
                      programs I run and that shows up as a 39GB folder.
                      Now that makes no sense at all, as is the case
                      with several other folders. I have a folder for my
                      activism stuff and that's 29GB which is
                      outlandishly wrong. So the Disk analyzer is wrong
                      or somehow these folders have been growing on
                      their own, bloating like a president's ego. My Q
                      is, what console tool would give me the disk usage
                      in a tree-like format (I know not like a GUI but a
                      list from highest to lowest size of folders). Is
                      this possible?</p>
                    <p>It appears that if the GUI Disk Analyzer is
                      correct then I can lose a few items, like the wine
                      programs, VMs and other unnecessaries and have
                      plenty of space on the new drive. I had planned to
                      use the 1TB drive as a storage device for my
                      10,000+ photos, etc. This would work but I don't
                      trust the GUI and don't want to start some weird
                      event and lose data nor do I want to transfer
                      mostly useless data that is actually  a couple
                      Gigs and not the tens of GB I am seeing.</p>
                    <p>I'll check out the forums for a console command
                      but i thought I'd go to the best first.</p>
                    <p>Cheers</p>
