How to find and list all large files on server using bash?

Looking for large files on your server or linux computer? Find them simply using one of the following commands.

This example search for anything above 50MB.

root@server:$ find / -type f -size +50M

This example search for anything above 100MB.

root@server:$ find / -type f -size +100M

This example search for anything above 1000MB.

root@server:$ find / -type f -size +1000M

Modify your search changing the digit between the “+” and “M”.. Make sense right?
