ncdu does the trick!
thank u all 4 ur answers.
12G vosk bloat won't ever fit into my available 1G on my 11G MMC:
(debian)czyborra@localhost:~$ df -hl /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p1 11G 8.7G 1.1G 90% /
my pip3 install vosk had failed before even starting any install.
my sudo apt install ncdu cost me 0.000981GB.
bloats identified by ncdu -x / are

Start by running ncdu in your root directory to get an idea what is
using up space.
Things under /var/cache/apt are the apt cache, and can indeed get very large.
You can remove that with with
apt-get clean
Things under /var/lib/apt include package lists. These are small (~100 mb),
and shouldn't be removed (but you can with `apt-get distclean` if you really
want to trim things down).
You used `pip install`, so you probably have a pip cache that may also need
to be cleared out. Unclear what you did, since you did not give us the
exact commands you typed, but you may have pulled in a complete alternative
python package hierarchy. That might be big.
I run vosk off of a container, and it's ~12G total, so 8.7 actually looks
lean to me, if it's actually running. Your "bloat" might be the software
you requested.
Best,
Antonio
