It walks the directory tree twice, once to measure it, and the second time to print out the paths to 20 'random' bytes under the directory. Here is a tiny app that uses deep sampling to find tumors in any disk or directory. If you do have quotas, you can use quota -v Is even more accurate (no < 1GB directories will be listed). If you have too many little directories showing up in your output, adjust your regex accordingly.

I incorporated the suggestion, which does make it better, but there are still false positives, so there are just tradeoffs (simpler expr, worse results more complex and longer expr, better results). This will take you some time, but unless you have quotas set up, I think that's just the way it's going to be.Īs points out in the comments, the expression can get more precise if you're finding too many false positives.

TreeSize Free asks again for confirmation before deleting data, according to the settings in Windows. Use df to find the partition that's hurting you, and then try du commands.īecause it prints sizes in 'human readable form'.
