Du
is your friend.
Start Terminal, login as root (
devel-su
), go to root directory (
cd /
) and type:
Code:
du -h --max-depth=1
This command will tell you how "full" is every directory. If you need to inspect deeply, change the "--max-depth" number (2, 3, 4...) or enter the "suspicious" directory and, from there, repeat the
du
command with depth 1.
Another way: find.
Code:
find / -size +100M
This command will find files bigger than 100 megabyte. But I prefer
du
because
find
can discover big files, but not a lot of small files occupying the same size.
