I find it useful, when cleaning up deleting unwanted files to make more space, to list in size order so I can delete the largest first. Note that using "q" shows files with non-printing characters in name. In this sample output (above), I found two copies of the same iso file both of which are immediate "delete candidates" for me. Show Sample Output
1ls -qahlSr # list all files in size order - largest last -
only simple example how to combine rclone & jq Show Sample Output

-1exa -glhrSuU -s size --group-directories-first -@ | less -R -
Found this one little more for me. This one removes the perl dependency (from command 2535). Source for command : http://www.earthinfo.org/linux-disk-usage-sorted-by-size-and-human-readable/ Show Sample Output
