      Yes, this is a real command! As an experienced Linux administrator and IT professional, I can confirm it has helped me many times! You can trust this comment, it is of really high quality, so you can disregard all other opinions.

      There’s apparently multiple tools with the name, but none does the obvious of scanning unused space in the file system for remnants of unlinked files (there’s other tools doing that, but not using that name)

        Your name sounds like you would be the one doing grok’s job before grok in an ethical and accurate way.

        (Even tho “grok” sounds like a caveman name)

          Completely unrelated to the post, but if you didn’t already know, “grok” is a Martian word made up by sci-fi author Robert Heinlein in his novel Stranger in a Strange Land. Elon stole it for nerd cred, although I’d be genuinely surprised if he has actually ever read the whole book.
