I’m using EndeavourOS. I installed btop++ as well as Disk Usage Analyzer. Both give me different disk space information.

I know I don’t have 60gb worth of files on my system for sure, DUA confirms that. How can I get btop++ to read the correct disk space usage?

    It’s not this significant (3x). it should be closer to 7%. My guess is that OP is using something like btrfs, whose data used is calculated differently due to the CoW nature, and btop++ is using using a generic tool to estimate disk usage rather than the btrfs utility that DUA is almost certainly using.
