Find large files in Linux
My favorite one-liner to do this
find / -type f -size +10M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
From the Linux Man page for ‘find’, size can be set to the following:
- ‘b’ for 512-byte blocks (this is the default if no suffix is used)
- ‘c’ for bytes
- ‘w’ for two-byte words
- ‘k’ for Kilobytes (units of 1024 bytes)
- ‘M’ for Megabytes (units of 1048576 bytes)
- ‘G’ for Gigabytes (units of 1073741824 bytes)
