I wrote this to figure out where most my space is going for my joplin notes since my notes are near 1gb in size. Thanks to this, I've been able to find and delete notes that consume space that I don't really care about
it creates a note with resources consumed. because I usually delete the note after, and there's no quick way to do this, I added a delete button on the note too. The delete button can be toggled in the settings.
Hope it's useful to someone else too.
Thank you so much for making this. It looks like it will be very useful!
I appreciate not only the work spent creating it but also the work to make it publicly available.
Many thanks for sharing this plugin. Much appreciated.
I also want to thank you. It is sweet. I have a question, though. Will deleting the note deleting any connected resources?
it's like normally deleting a note. joplin deletes the resources with some scheduling incase there's an undo.
Then later today I'll get busy cleaning up my database and next week or the week after will empty my trash. Thank you.
Thanks for the plugin and sharing.
If you don't mind some constructive feedback.
Please don't take this negatively and keep up the good work.
Thanks
I don't perhaps show a dialog, disable the button until the note is created ...
Anything to indicate that something is happening and not to be clicked again.
I'm not sure how this is reverse sorted by size.
the notebooks aren't sorted, but the resources are.
I pushed a new version that also sorts the notebooks
Thanks for putting in the work for this project. When the Joplin Android app started stalling during syncs I thought of searching the database to see if I'd inadvertently created a freakishly large note that was gumming up the works. But then I got distracted by a shiny object and, well, you know...
Two design suggestions: On the progress meter request perhaps the easiest approach would be to initially create a dummy report with simply "Now searching through the notes..." as its contents and then updating the note once the processing is complete. I don't personally see this as a high priority request, as once someone has used the plugin they'll know what to expect in the future. The slight delay before results appear could also be described in the plugin's description -- useful for those rare individuals who bother to read the instructions before using something.
As to the sorted results issue, I too was somewhat flummoxed by a generated TOC of notebooks that was sorted neither by size nor by name. It wasn't until I read through this thread that I realized the results were sorted by note size within each notebook. The TOC wouldn't have been confusing if I'd only had a few notebooks, but I had 60. I wound up copying the TOC as text, pasting it into an external editor, and then manually looking through the results for the largest notebooks. As someone who regularly monitors disk storage however I'm used to seeing a pie chart with the big picture and then drilling down into the details. So, yeah, a TOC sorted by notebook size would be nice improvement.
All that said, I must reiterate my thanks for creating this plugin. It is a useful addition to the plugin library.
UPDATE: Well, you sure addressed the notebook sorting issue quickly -- while I was composing the response. Nice one!
I'll see if this is possible since graying out the button isn't. Thanks !
I'm doing this in an annoying way, but Joplin is a bit lacking when it comes to refreshing. So there's a flicker as I create a temp note, delete it, and switch back to the current note after the update. But now you can see some waiting text in the next update
Thank you for this very nice plugin and the work it took to create it.
I can be a bit thick at times so to mention some things I eventually realized 
I have a very large database with about 10K notes, many thousands of resources, and more than 10 GB total size. So, I'm the target audience for this plugin!
However, I find it unusable after installing. I would expect the plugin to take a while when running, but it completely froze my Joplin window for several minutes before I gave up. Restarts and safe mode didn't fix it, upon which I realized that attempting to render the disk usage note was causing the freeze. I fortunately was able to delete it without "rendering" it.
Not sure how easily this can be fixed. Perhaps there should be a limit on its size?

I can see if I can run it completely asynchronously.
can you try this one?
