You can use the short option -d instead of --max-depth, and make it's
parameter '1' come straight after [1], so my go-to command for tracking
down where disk space is been used is...
du -hd1 | sort -h
then 'cd' into a likely candidate directory and repeat.
[1] parameters for short options like this only works for last short
option in a joined list, e.g. -d1h is invalid.
