How can I find space eating files in my home?
There are many ways to get the information you need. Some examples are:
- With the following command, you get a list of items in your home, sorted by size in MB:
du -sm ~/.??* ~/* | sort -n -r | less
If you replace -sm with -sk, the size will be shown in KB.
Use the ncurses based tool ncdu.
Use a graphical tool like Disk Usage Analyzer on GNOME or Filelight on KDE.
