Ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is useful to find space hogs on a remote server without a full graphical interface

Using ncdu I discovered gigabytes of space being used on my server by SqlBin log files. Ncdu works directly from the CLI terminal screen and allows you to drill down through the directories using the most space. It will work equally well in Linux desktops although the graphical Disk Usage Analyser will do the same thing.
