  Description     : a Unix utility for tracking down wasted disk space

Unix provides the standard du utility, which scans your disk and tells
you which directories contain the largest amounts of data. That can help
you narrow your search to the things most worth deleting.

However, that only tells you what's big. What you really want to know
is what's too big. By itself, du won't let you distinguish between data
that's big because you're doing something that needs it to be big, and
data that's big because you unpacked it once and forgot about it.
