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

As others said, `du` is the way to go. But knowing the options to `du` is essential. Here they are:

```
du -m --max-depth 1 /foo /bar

```

This will give you the size in megabytes of the directories contained in `/foo` and `/bar`. If you want the output to be sorted, pipe it through the `sort` utility:

```
du -m --max-depth 1 /foo /bar | sort -n -k 1

```
use `du` in terminal.
