Today in this documentation you will learn how to determine files and folder which are consuming most disk space in the server. Before getting started let us quick watch the Full video on how to report files and folders which are consuming most disk space in server.

Follow the steps given below to find the most space consuming files and folders via SSH:

Now to check the most space consuming files in server run the command given below ———————————————————

FS='/';clear;date;df -h $FS; echo "Largest Directories:"; du -hcx --max-depth=2 $FS 2>/dev/null | grep [0-9]G | sort -grk 1 | head -15 ;echo "Largest Files:"; nice -n 19 find $FS -mount -type f -print0 2>/dev/null| xargs -0 du -k | sort -rnk1| head -n20 |awk '{printf "%8d MB\t%s\n",($1/1024),$NF}'
