I've heard stacker is reversable.  Also, if you do a directory, it will tell
you how much space you have left, to an extent.  Okay, okay, zipped files,
arjed files, and other compressed files will take up twice as much space,
but on the general whole, the amount of space it gives you is accurate, since
it is updated.
