I'm using Fedora 43 and it's been running smoothly, but I've noticed that my storage space is disappearing quickly. I initially had about 400 GB, but it's dropping fast, especially since I'm downloading games on a separate storage drive. I'm looking for suggestions on how to identify and manage any excess files that might be taking up space without me realizing it.

You can run `baobab` in your terminal. It gives you a nice graphical breakdown of your disk usage, making it easy to see what’s taking up space.
Just a heads up, I had TimeShift use up around 70 GB of my extra system partition space because the backups were bigger than I expected!
Consider using BleachBit or Stacer—both are good tools for cleaning up your system and managing files.
I recommend QDirStat for visualizing your space usage by folder. Additionally, Krokiet or Czkawka can help you find and eliminate duplicate files.
If you’re comfortable with the command line, try using `ncdu`. It stands for 'ncurses disk usage', and it will help you find out where your disk space is being used. You might want to run `sudo ncdu` to see all files, including those owned by system accounts.
