What is a good command for finding large files on your drive? I know how to use:



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,

I also recommend:

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...
