Is there any command that could show me the size of several folders in linux, perhaps ranked from biggest to smallest?

Or you can pass:

```
du -sm /dir1 /dir2 | sort -nrk 1
#or
du -sm * | sort -nrk 1

```

The difference between the first and the second is that the sencond will pick all the files and dirs in the current directory and the first just the dirs you passed.
If you would like a graphical (X11) display, consider installing **`xdiskusage`**. You can either pipe the output of `du` into it (as you might do if you're running `du` as another user, or on another system, or at another time), or you can run it interactively and it will invoke `du` for itself.

As usual, once it's installed, consult the man page.
