i don't know if someone sent this in already but a "du" command and especially a "du -h" will give you a solid breakdown as well.

I was running out of space on my lappie and eventually noticed about 20G of files in /tmp/kai - never even knew the folder existed. Of course, I deleted everything, since nothing seemed to be needed.

kdirstat is your friend...

kdirstat scans a directory tree and shows very impressive where your disk space goes to...

You will be baffled where your disk space gets lost ... It's easy to forget some huge "temp" files like videos.

kdirstat resides in its own package, to be installed with yast. And, luckily, you may scan mounted discs of clients running any OS.

Cheers, Winfried

- Thank You!

Also, the --max-depth= option can be useful. --max-depth=1 says only summarize to the highest level underneath the current directory, which gives you a high-level view of everything.
