I like to pipe the `du` output straight into a `sort` command. That way
the biggest directories appear at the end.
cd /
sudo du -sk * |sort -n
That is for directories. If you are looking for the largest files, you
can try something like this:
ls -lR |sort -nk5

Dear Jiyong,
To find which directory is using the space disk, you can go to the
root directory, and use the 'du' tool as root user (or with sudo).
cd /
sudo du -hs * 2> /dev/null
Wait a bit, and every single directory will appear with his size. If
you see an unexpected big size for a specific directory, cd into this
one, and re-do the 'du' command until you find the guilty files.
You can as well use a graphical tool like Baobab. (I really like this
one.)
Best,
Arnaud

*Subject:* [ccp4bb] Clean Ubuntu system disk
Dear CCP4BB,
I installed CCP4 in Ubuntu 14.10. After I run several rounds of CCP4,
I found my disk is nearly full. Only 400Mb space left. I guess I often
kill the job that temporary files left in my disk. Could one BB tell
me how to remove the temporary files?
Best regards,
Jiyong
