In this post we gonna see how to find size of a directory from Terminal. To summarise disk usage of each file, recursively for directories, we can use the following command du [option]... [FILE/Directory]... To get the report in human readable format, along with the overall summary, use du -hs /path/to/directory To find sizes of directories recursively unto a certain depth (e.g.: depth = 2): du -h --max-depth=2 /path/to/directory
