Sorry, my statement about sort was backwards. Just as an FYI.
sort -n sorts everyone in a file with the assumption that the first word is a

Hi
when I have had issues with disk space and I didn't know where, I always use
the "du" command. Generally using it with the "-s" option. So in the terminal:
du -s *
| sort -n
will produce a sorted list with all items in the current folder with the
largest ones at the top.
Best wishes,
Hi!
I actually don’t know but i can go and check that.
Maybe that is taking up more space.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry, but I don’t have the answers to this. I know the general concepts but I
