Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Disk quota exceeded (difference btw. du and df, again!) Post 302675093 by toro95037 on Saturday 21st of July 2012 02:44:19 PM

Create an alias called "du."

Code:
alias du.='du -k | grep -v "/.*/" | sort -n'

Then using a combination of du.'s ... cd's ... & ls -la's you should be able to determine where and which file(s) are using the most disk space.

example: (cd /home/myuser)

Code:
ls -la (look for files that are large)
du. (this will show you the relative size of your sub-directories)
cd (to the largest sub-directory)

repeat until you find large file that you do not want and delete them.
