Four letters: ncdu.

Simply put, ncdu is a very powerful util to visualize disk usage. You can even delete file via it assuming you ran it with the user account containing the needed privileges. You can specify which dir tree you want it to display can have it stick to a single filesystem. For example, you only wanna see a break-down of your /myth partition, or you only wanna see a breakdown of your / (root) partition, etc.

To install it on R5.5:
Code:
# apt-get install ncdu

To install it on R6:
Code:
# pacman -S ncdu


To use it, simply run it from a shell:
Code:
$ ncdu
