dua

dua - disk usage analyzer

dua is a simple commandline utility, that scans the target directory for files and directories taking up the most space.

It employs a basic heuristic (a threshold), to decide when to list a single big file rather than its parent directory, so (unlike a simplistic variation on du | sort) in many cases it correctly identifies both large files, and directories with a lot of smaller files that add up to a larger total.

dua [-h] [-t THRESHOLD] [-n N] <DIRECTORY>

Options:

• -t THRESHOLD: Set the threshold (default: 0.9; range (0.0 - 1.0)).
• -n N: Show top N results (default: 20).
