A common problem with computers is when you have a number of large
files (such as audio/video clips) that you may want to get rid of. You
can find the biggest files in the current directory with:
ls -lSrh
The "r" causes the large files to be listed at the end and the "h"
gives human readable output (MB and such). You could also search for the
biggest MP3/MPEGs:
ls -lSrh *.mp*
You can also look for the largest directories with:
du -kx | egrep -v "\./.+/" | sort -n
