You should be able to find the largest files on your filesystem by running the following command: find / -xdev -exec stat --printf '%s\t%N\n' {} \;|sort -n It will probably take a few minutes to execute, but you should get back a list of files, sorted by size, the last few files being the largest. -- Darac Marjal
