What is a good command for finding large files on your drive? I know how to use: Code: du -xsh * to recursively find a large file through nested folders, but I'm looking for a command that'll list all files on my drive that are larger than a certain size.[/code] |

Take a look at "man find". Ex. "find / -size +1G" finds all files greater than 1G. Cheers, Allen |

I also recommend: Code: du -k | sort -n
to get a list of directories from the current location down, ordered by increasing size. Sometimes it's not a few big files but rather a lot of smaller ones that are eating your space... |
