There is also a great ncdu
utility – it can show directory size with detailed info about subfolders and files.
Installation
Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install ncdu
Usage
Just type ncdu [path]
in the command line. After a few seconds for analyzing the path, you will see something like this:
$ ncdu 1.11 ~ Use the arrow keys to navigate, press ? for help
