Linuxers posted a tutorial about checking the filesize or disk space usage of directories/files using du command
As a linux beginner, I tried to do stuff from the console as often as possible but for somethings I ended up relying on the GUI. Filesize was one of those things. I don't know why I never searched for it but I came to know about du while looking at one of my seniors work on his system.Check the filesize or disk space usage of directories/files using du command
