# rclone ncdu
|
|
|
|
Explore a remote with a text based user interface.
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
This displays a text based user interface allowing the navigation of a
|
|
remote. It is most useful for answering the question - "What is using
|
|
all my disk space?".
|
|
|
|
{{< asciinema 157793 >}}
|
|
|
|
To make the user interface it first scans the entire remote given and
|
|
builds an in memory representation. rclone ncdu can be used during
|
|
this scanning phase and you will see it building up the directory
|
|
structure as it goes along.
|
|
|
|
You can interact with the user interface using key presses,
|
|
press '?' to toggle the help on and off. The supported keys are:
|
|
|
|
↑,↓ or k,j to Move
|
|
→,l to enter
|
|
←,h to return
|
|
c toggle counts
|
|
g toggle graph
|
|
a toggle average size in directory
|
|
u toggle human-readable format
|
|
n,s,C,A sort by name,size,count,average size
|
|
d delete file/directory
|
|
v select file/directory
|
|
V enter visual select mode
|
|
D delete selected files/directories
|
|
y copy current path to clipboard
|
|
Y display current path
|
|
^L refresh screen (fix screen corruption)
|
|
? to toggle help on and off
|
|
q/ESC/^c to quit
|
|
|
|
Listed files/directories may be prefixed by a one-character flag,
|
|
some of them combined with a description in brackets at end of line.
|
|
These flags have the following meaning:
|
|
|
|
e means this is an empty directory, i.e. contains no files (but
|
|
may contain empty subdirectories)
|
|
~ means this is a directory where some of the files (possibly in
|
|
subdirectories) have unknown size, and therefore the directory
|
|
size may be underestimated (and average size inaccurate, as it
|
|
is average of the files with known sizes).
|
|
. means an error occurred while reading a subdirectory, and
|
|
therefore the directory size may be underestimated (and average
|
|
size inaccurate)
|
|
! means an error occurred while reading this directory
|
|
|
|
This an homage to the [ncdu tool](https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu) but for
|
|
rclone remotes. It is missing lots of features at the moment
|
|
but is useful as it stands.
|
|
|
|
Note that it might take some time to delete big files/directories. The
|
|
UI won't respond in the meantime since the deletion is done synchronously.
|
|
|
|
For a non-interactive listing of the remote, see the
|
|
[tree](/commands/rclone_tree/) command. To just get the total size of
|
|
the remote you can also use the [size](/commands/rclone_size/) command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone ncdu remote:path [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-h, --help help for ncdu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
