Space Gremlin is designed to find large and unnecessary files to delete on a hard drive. [2] It uses a squarified treemap algorithm [ 3 ] to display the relative sizes of files and folders.

A sandbox is implemented by executing the software in a restricted operating system environment, thus controlling the resources (e.g. file descriptors, memory, file system space, etc.) that a process may use. [4] Examples of sandbox implementations include the following: Linux application sandboxing, built on Seccomp, cgroups and Linux namespaces.
