Using a local LLM to clean out 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 technology writer describes handing a nearly full SSD to a locally running large language model and asking it to identify files that could be safely deleted. The piece highlights a practical, privacy-friendly use of local AI: instead of sending data to the cloud, the model analyses the drive on the user's own machine and suggests what can be removed to free up storage space.
Why now: Practical demonstrations of local AI tools doing everyday chores are drawing attention as interest in running models on personal hardware grows
