At the terminal, if you are wondering how big a directory is you can enter the following command to find out;
Obviously replace "/home/user/interesting_directory/" with the location you are interested in.
If you leave off the location it will measure the current directory
du is the "disk usage" tool, option '-s' is for sum, and "-h" is human readable format.
Executing this command in my home directory reports back:
du -sh /home/user/interesting_directory/
