Free up 46 GB by cutting repos | Generated by AI

Home 2026.06

Here’s the picture:

~/projects total:     144 GB
repos.json repos:      50 GB  (170 repos)
Non-repos.json repos:  22 GB
lzwjava.github.io:     72 GB  (blog + notes, not in repos.json)

Your disk has 116 MB free. You need to act now.

Here’s my recommendation for cutting ~56 repos (~1/3 of 170) from repos.json. Grouped by category:

OS KERNELS — drop from repos.json, delete locally (saves 12.0 GB) These are reference-only, you can always re-clone or browse on GitHub:

LARGE TOOLCHAIN SOURCES — drop, re-clone on demand (saves 6.4 GB) You rarely need these checked out locally:

HUGE AI REPOS w/ model weights or data checked in (saves 13.3 GB):

AI APPS you’re not actively using (saves 3.4 GB):

AI INFERENCE — overlap/duplicate tools (saves 1.2 GB): You have llama.cpp, ollama, vllm, sglang, text-generation-webui, llamafile, ktransformers, TensorRT-LLM, ggml, mlx, mlx-examples. Keep 3-4 max:

PLATFORMS / INFRA not actively used (saves 1.1 GB):

DEV TOOLS — OS/deviation projects you don’t need in repos.json (saves 4.6 GB):

TOTAL: ~55 repos removed, freeing ~46 GB

That would bring repos.json from 170 → ~115 repos and free enough to breathe. Also consider:

  1. lzwjava.github.io at 72 GB is your single biggest item — it probably has large binary assets. Run du -sh ~/projects/lzwjava.github.io/.git to see if it’s the git history. If so, a git clone --depth 1 re-clone could save 50+ GB alone.

  2. The non-repos.json repos (22 GB) include things like gcc (1.5 GB), open-liberty (1.2 GB), true-question (1.4 GB), WeFriends (844 MB) — many look like old projects you could delete too.

Want me to generate the trimmed repos.json and a rm -rf command for the ones to delete?
