Take a look here regarding why you should never parse ls' output: |

You can use ncdu or xdiskusage (both available in portage) to get more |
| 12 |
useful output. Both will allow you to track down large folders, not |
| 13 |
just single files (for example cache folders tend to hold a large |
| 14 |
amount of tiny files, which may collectively amount for a large chunk |
| 15 |
of your hard disk space). |
