What do you mean by 6 and 7 digit numbers? It should return disk usage
in human readable numbers (as in 10M for 10 Megabytes, 2G for 2
Gigabytes and so on). To drill down a specific directory just change
the /* to something like /usr/* or of course you can always use gui
apps like baobab. :-p

Yes multi-language support is often the biggest disk hog. Removing
multiple language support for large applications like LibreOffice
could be something you might want to try.
