How do you deal with WSL2 and Docker eating your Windows disk?

by•

Hey everyone šŸ‘‹

I'm launching SpaceFree tomorrow, and I wanted to ask this community something first.

Ever deleted 50GB of files and found your C: drive is still full? On Windows, WSL2 and Docker keep that space locked inside virtual disks that never shrink on their own. Add AI models, node_modules and package caches, and it's easy to lose 100GB+ without knowing where it went.

I built SpaceFree to show where it's all going and help get it back:

• Scans every drive

• Breaks storage down by WSL, Docker, AI models, builds and git repos

• Nothing is deleted without your OK

• Runs locally, no uploads

Some things I would love to hear from you:

1. What's the biggest storage hog on your dev machine?

2. How do you clean it up today? Manually, scripts, or do you just ignore it?

3. What would you want a tool like this to show you?

Launching tomorrow, so any feedback before then helps a lot. Thanks! šŸ™
