I have a VPS, and 15GB of space to work with.

I have two accounts in my WHM, one uses roughly 7GB of space, the other uses about 50MB (not much).

I also have a folder for backups, which is around 1GB.

So, I should be using between 8-9GB, depending on the size of the OS.

However it says I am using up 13GB of my space.

My guess is some kind of backup file went missing somewhere random, but I have no idea where to look for it. Is there a way to search for the largest files in linux? Or to find the folders where most of the space is being used? This would help me pinpoint where the rogue files are. Thanks!
