The incantation I use for this is
du -hs *
in the root of the partition, and then use this again on the biggest
directory found, recursively.
If another partition is mounted on top of it a -x will prevent it being
added. If you want to sort it 'du -s * | sort -g' works nicely. Hidden
files in the current directory can be summed with 'du -hs .??*'
'rm filename' removes a file, 'rm -rf directory' removes a directory and
all its contents - USE WITH CARE, always keep backups etc.
