## What it is
dua (Disk Usage Analyzer) is a fast, parallel Rust CLI and terminal UI for inspecting disk space usage of directories and optionally deleting unwanted files faster than rm. It ships prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows and is installable via many package managers.

## Use cases
- find what is taking up disk space
- analyze directory sizes fast
- clean up unwanted files from disk
- free up storage on my ssd
- interactive terminal disk usage explorer
- delete large folders quickly

## When to choose
- you need fast, parallel disk usage analysis of directories
- you want an interactive terminal UI to browse and delete files
- you need a cross-platform tool with prebuilt binaries and no runtime dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need graphical disk usage visualization like a treemap (use tools like ncdu alternatives with GUI)
- you only need a simple one-shot size listing already covered by du
- you need network or cloud storage usage analysis

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, file-system, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools, files
- platform: windows, rust, cli, cross-platform
- tags: disk-usage, disk-cleanup, file-deletion, parallel-scan, tui, command-line, linux, macos
