Find large files in CentOS, ubuntu and MacOS
1 min readSep 16, 2020
Sometimes, maybe everybody needs to check large files in the system. There some useful commands which I’m using often.
Here is the first pattern:
find /home/ercan/ -type f -size +100000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
If file size more than 250 MB in the system:
sudo find /home/ercan/ -type f -size +250000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
Here is the results:
/home/ercan/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike: 631M
/home/ercan/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike: 248M
/home/ercan/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike: 251M
/home/ercan/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike: 464M
/home/ercan/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike: 306M
