FYI Don’t use this command. I think it was intended as a joke, but I just want to clarify.
Very much worth clarifying. They didn’t specify that it was a joke, and if OP doesn’t already know how to see what’s eating their space, they’re probably not the sort to know what that command does.
That’s why I didn’t include any privilege escalation, even if someone ran it as is it would fail. But a warning is also appropriate, thanks.
That doesn’t make it better.
The first thing a novice user learns is to slap
sudoin the front if they don’t have access to do something.Nobody puts var on its own partition anymore, it would sill fail.
He either has var on a dedicated partition or has a 12 gb drive in 2025
