Using a local LLM to clean up a full hard drive
Original: I gave my local LLM a nearly-full SSD and told it to find everything I could safely delete
A tech writer describes running a locally hosted large language model on a nearly full SSD, asking it to identify files that could be safely deleted. The piece highlights a practical, off-cloud use of local AI: letting the model scan the drive and suggest disk cleanup targets, reflecting growing interest in running LLMs directly on personal hardware for everyday tasks.
Why now: Interest in practical offline uses of local AI tools is rising as more people run LLMs on their own machines.
