Your answer could potentially help me un-fuck my website!

Details here.


Edit: The total capacity is currently 160 GB, so no amount of pruning will free up 1 TB. I need to mount an external share or something.


Edit2: I'm trying this but the command isn't working despite zero exit status.

No like physically used as part of the website. Not just sitting on the server that the website was on without actually being in use on the website itself.

At the time what we were doing was archiving all pictures and video from a very very large and active discord. These were then searchable, you could see who posted what pictures and video, in what order historically, even sort by total number of reacts.

I don't like the fact that discords buries all media for guilds and communities behind a god awful chat. So many screenshots and videos and all kinds of media are just buried in discord, extracting JUST the media and making it viewable and searchable by user etc preserves genuinely emotionally sentimental content. Things like that time a group of friends defeated their first dungeon together and stuff like that deserves to not get forgotten about never to be found ever again somewhere in the depths of a discord server.

Also I am a hoarder.
