@Alain You mention Linux at your disposition, so check if you have
`tree` installed. Then
```shell
tree --du -h
```
often is sufficient for me. As you may infer, it is about reporting disk usage
in a human readable format (kilo, Mega bytes/octets) per file, folder and a
grand total. An optional `--L 2` you otherwise might use to limit the display
to two levels of hierarchy has an impact of the analysis, so typically I don't
use this parameter.
Bonne journée,
Norwid
