In my experience, as tempting as it would be to delete the locales and
documentation, it wouldn't give me much of a saving. Do the following to
itemize your disk:
du / | sort -nk1 > out-file
Then tail that file and/or grep -v bits out to figure out where it's all
going. Common culprits include gigantic, old log files.
