I installed both of them.  Kdirstat does not show me anything that I 
understand.  When I opened the How To, it showed this graph, but not how 
to get the graph to show from my system.

filelight shows wonderful graphics, but although it tells you what is in 
each identified area, it does not tell you what is unnecessary or wasted. 

There are 5gb of debug files.  I have installed them because I guessed 
they were used to fix problems.  They use a lot of  space.  Are they 
necessary?
