`du -sh` shows in human readable:
$ du -sh /lib/modules/*
4.0K /lib/modules/6.2.13-300.fc38.x86_64
4.0K /lib/modules/6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64

4.0K /lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64
4.0K /lib/modules/6.3.12-200.fc38.x86_64
4.0K /lib/modules/6.3.4-201.fc38.x86_64

4.0K /lib/modules/6.3.6-200.fc38.x86_64
4.0K /lib/modules/6.3.7-200.fc38.x86_64
4.0K /lib/modules/6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64

126M /lib/modules/6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64
Switch to `-m`, for size in MB:
$ du -sm /lib/modules/*
1 /lib/modules/6.2.13-300.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.2.15-300.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.12-200.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.4-201.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.5-200.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.6-200.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.7-200.fc38.x86_64
1 /lib/modules/6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64
126 /lib/modules/6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64
126 /lib/modules/6.4.11-200.fc38.x86_64
126 /lib/modules/6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64
Then, pipe to `awk` for a list of targets:
$ du -sm /lib/modules/* | awk '$1 < 10 { print $2 }'
/lib/modules/6.2.13-300.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.2.15-300.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.12-200.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.4-201.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.5-200.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.6-200.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.7-200.fc38.x86_64
/lib/modules/6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64
