Free up disk space on Ubuntu

My server seems to eat disks. Constantly at 99% and when it hits 100%  php barfs and can’t store variables thence it won’t let people login.

Ubuntu helpdesk saves the day,

with every damn possible CLI you can think of to hunt down and identify all the files that hog space.  Saved me a hell of a lot of effort. Maybe you too.
