find large files/directories in /opt
 

My /opt is pretty much full after installing lots of games.
I have moved some of the large directories over to MyDocs and set symbolic links but want to create more space.
Is there a command or a utility that will tell me the largest files or directories in /opt? If I use the ls commands, all the directories come up as 4096 bytes rather than their true size and I dont really want to go through every directory and sub-directory manually.
Hope someone can help.

Mike

cd /opt
du -sh *

HTH :-)

will show all files under /opt, sorted by size ascending.

There is also the really good app "Storage Usage" that lets you visually inspect partition usages and usage by package.
