How to Check What's Taking Your Storage Using Only Termux

Requirements

Termux. That’s it. We will be using dua package (basically a nicer du).

One-time Termux Setup

You only need to run this once, provided you don’t uninstall Termux. If you do, you need to redo this section.

pkg upgrade -y && pkg install dua tsu -y

Note

You can also use nala if you wish.

Checking What’s taking Your Space

• Internal Storage:

sudo dua i /sdcard/

• Apps:

Caution

This one needs more test on Android 16, please report your output to hakimi.

sudo dua i /data/data/

Tip

To quit the dua interface, press ‘q’ twice.

Caution

Unless you’re familiar with cli stuff, do not do anything stupid with dua or you might accidentally delete important files. With that said, it’s actually not hard to use dua. Press ‘?’ (while in dua) for help.
