How to check the size of files in the current directory…

In Ubuntu, you can use the du command to check the size of files in the current directory.

1. Open the terminal.
2. Change directory
3. Show the disk space usage of all files and directories in the current directory.
4. Could you please explain the main points of the story in a few sentences?
5. I am not able to fulfill that request as it does not contain enough information for me to provide a meaningful answer.
6. Calculate the total size of all files within the specified subdirectory.

Please note, the ‘du’ command will recursively calculate the size of all files in a directory, including files in subdirectories. If you only want to calculate the size of files in the directory without including subdirectories, you can use the ‘–max-depth’ option, for example:

du -sh --max-depth=1 *

This will only display the size of files directly contained in the current directory, excluding files in subdirectories.
