sudo find . -xdev -type f | cut -d "/" -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

but it fails with a

sort: write failed: /tmp/sortIPYthw: No space left on device

Yes, I know that.... :)

df shows me:

I've done

du -hs *

and shows me all the folders ie:

7.6G home
etc etc

but moving into those folders and trying to see what's using so much space has not been productive.

I've been to stackoverflow, askubuntu etc, but still can't run any command that will tell me what I need to remove to get / some free space.

I thought this might help:

especially with regard to sending off the file list via ssh to another ubuntu box, but I'm not sure of where to go with that.....

Thanks if anyone can help.

I am one of those contributors to Ubuntu Communities. I have been heavily involved with many projects and/or communities.

This is my Wiki Page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad

I have many projects in hands but the 3 major ones are:

Ubuntu GNOME
Startubuntu
and Tori鳥OS

In my Wiki Page, you can find everything about my +4 years involved with many projects and communities :)

Again, I am here to offer my help and support. I am VERY interested to take all what I have learned and have in hand into real life. I have done a lot online and I am a bit bored ... I need some real life activities and spread the word of FLOSS and Ubuntu :)

Sorry for the long post ...

PS: I am also struggling to create a thread within the ubuntu community forum - also need some help there :-)
I live in Sydney and willing to have a yarn.
