find /usr/* |sort -n

The last files listed will be your largest ones.

Hey and welcome.

use this:

10 largest directories:
$ du -kx /usr | sort -rn -k1 | head -n 10

10 largest files:
$ find /usr -type f -xdev -print | xargs -e ll | sort -rn -k5 | head -n 10

Recently modified files :
$ find /usr -type f -xdev -mtime -1 -print | xargs ll | sort -rn -k5

If people's suggestions helped you you should award points. That way, if someone has the same problem as you in the future and finds your thread, they can see which answer was the most helpful (the one you give most points to).

No points for this post please.
