Have Ubuntu do the work for you. From your command line:
du -mx | sort -n | tail -40
will start at your current working directory and show you disk utilization in
mebibytes (not crossing a filesystem boundary), sort the output numerically, and give
you the largest 40 offenders. Then you can decide what to keep.
You can also add a grep clause to reduce the size of the list that needs sorting. In
this example, I'm looking for any file name that contains the string "logs" or ends
with "log":
du -mx | egrep "logs|log$" | sort -n | tail -40
Once you've identified the appropriate files and directories, use rm to delete them.
To save yourself aggravation, you can use logrotate to automate future cleanup.
