Start in the highest-level directory that you're concerned about. Issue
the command:
du -sk * | sort +0nr
This will give you a nice list, sorted in descending order by the amount
of space taken by each file and subdirectory. Space hogs will appear at
the top of the list, with space usage listed in terms of 1k blocks.
Then repeat the process in each of the lower-level space hogs.
(I've just performed this exercise on one of our systems!)
