heliopy.data.helper contains the method
heliopy.data.helper.listdata() that can be useful for working out how
much data is stored locally. It can be run using
from heliopy.data import helper as heliohelper
heliohelper.listdata()
This will print a table with each probe and the total raw data stored along with the total .hdf file data stored (.hdf files are binary files that are much faster for python to read than raw data).
Example output is:
'''
