Baobab (Disk Usage Analyzer)
Baobab is a Linux tool, so 'switching' means standardizing on one analyzer per OS — keep Baobab on Linux servers and run NullDisk on every Mac.
ทีละขั้นตอน
Run a fresh NullDisk scan
Open NullDisk, pick the same volume or folder, and let it measure everything — allocated size, hard links included. What you see now is ground truth.
Rebuild your cleanup queue
Drag each flagged item into the Ready-to-Remove collector. Review sizes, previews, and paths at leisure — nothing is deleted yet.
Trash once, verify twice
Move the collector to the Trash in one step, then rescan to confirm the reclaimed space. Uninstall the old tool only after the numbers check out.

Can I export reports from Baobab (Disk Usage Analyzer)?
Baobab is a Linux tool, so 'switching' means standardizing on one analyzer per OS — keep Baobab on Linux servers and run NullDisk on every Mac.
Will I lose anything by switching?
No — scans are reproducible. A fresh NullDisk scan of the same volume shows the same files with allocated-size accuracy, usually within minutes.
Is NullDisk hard to learn after Baobab (Disk Usage Analyzer)?
Most switchers are productive in minutes: the radial map reads instantly, and the collector mirrors the 'gather then delete' habit you already have.
