    Hard Disc is a Bottomless Pit!

    I used to have plenty of space on my Ubuntu partition. Now I have diddly squat.

    Code:
    agardner@ubuntu:~$ df -h /
    Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/loop0       26G   18G  7.9G  70% /
    Where the heck is Ubuntu storing all of these bytes!?

    Will list your toplevel directories and their sizes
    Code:
    sudo du -hx --max-depth=1 / 2>/dev/null
    Will find files 5 Gigabytes and bigger
    Code:
    sudo find / -size +5G
