Hey guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me get a command that would help me find the file or folder that is taking up the space. I have / space used up but I am not sure what exactly is using up the space. I am looking for something other than du -sch *

Thanks,

Nici

du -h --max-depth=1 [add -x to only calculate current partition]
cd into the biggest directory, then "du -h..." again, keep doing that...

Eventually you should come to the cause.
