How to find large files in Linux

in Linux

At the command line as root enter:

find / -size +102400k

This will find all files on the entire system that are bigger than 100 MB.

Use this one to see the sizes:

find / -size +103400k | xargs ls -laAh

Use “find .” to look only in the current directory.

find . -size +103400k | xargs ls -laAh
