Try

Code:

du -h /home/{USERNAME}

use the find command to find all files that belong to user and then total up the byte count

Code:

find / -type f -user -ls | awk '{count+=$7}END{print "total bytes: "count}'

Hello ghost..

I tried this command...

I think you have missed the username option after -user.

find / -type f -user USERNAME -ls | awk '{count+=$7}END{print "total bytes: "count}'

correct me if I am wrong

Thanks
