Filelight is an open source visual disk usage analyzer application for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It is designed to provide an easy-to-use graphical representation of the contents of a file system, allowing users to quickly identify where their storage space is being used, and to identify large, unused files and folders. The application is useful for understanding which files and folders are taking up the most space on a hard drive, and allowing quick navigation to those folders. The application also allows users to set up custom color schemes for different file types, for easy identification.
