To get the list of the largest files and folders, we use several commands together :
Commands:
- du: The 'du' command in Linux is used to estimate file and directory space usage.
- pipeline( | ): The Pipe is a command in Linux that lets you use two or more commands such that output of one command serves as input to the next.
- grep: Grep is a useful command to search for matching patterns in a file.
- sort: SORT command is used to sort a file, arranging the records in a particular order.
- head: The 'head' command in Linux is used to display the first part of files
Now use this command together:
du -ah / | grep -v "/$" | sort -rh | head -10
