This interface displays information about how you use your disk space. It can also help you manage your disk space quota, because it indicates files and directories that use large amounts of hard disk space.
The Disk Space Usage feature lists all of the subdirectories contained within your home directory.

The figures contained in the Disk Space Usage feature may not reflect recent changes in your account's disk space.
