Describe the feature you'd like

This would be a nice option that can be added to the settings:

Show the size used for attachments based on URLs (with a link to jump to that URL) - this should be sorted by size
Show the amount of storage used by asset type (video, snapshots, archive) with the ability to click into the type and then see the single usage per asset. Then allow to click on the asset to jump to the URL associated with it.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

I ended up in some unexpected amount of data in the asset folder. This came from my tests with Video Downloads.
Of course you can identify the large files using command line tools, but you'll only find the asset and not the bookmark that belongs to this attachment.
I'm also not sure how the system reacts if I manually delete and asset from the drive.
So having a more comfortable way to clean up the attachments would be very helpful, especially if you run this on a system with limited hard rive space.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No, I don't think so...

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request
