How to keep disk-space to free from not usable data in LINUX/Unix:
Agedu: Correlate disk usage with last-access times to identify large and disused data
agedu scans a directory tree and produces reports about how much disk space is used in each directory and subdirectory, and also how that usage of disk space corresponds to files with last-access times a long time ago.
In other words, agedu is a tool you might use to help you free up disk space. It lets you see which directories are taking up the most space, as du does; but unlike du, it also distinguishes between large collections of data which are still in use and ones which have not been accessed in months or years - for instance, large archives downloaded,unpacked, used once, and never cleaned up. Where du helps you find what's using your disk space, agedu helps you find what's wasting your disk space.
How to install:
==> for Debian / Ubuntu Linux user type the following apt-get command to install agedu:
$sudo apt-get install agedu
==> for RHEL / CentOS / Fedora users turn on EPEL repo and type the following
#yum install agedu
