Linux command - find large size files

We often come across problems like disk utilization 100%. In such situation, there is need to know the files which are occupying large amount of disk space. So to find out such files e.g. in this case files having size greater than 50 MB in current directory, command will be as follows:

find . -type f -size +50000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'

enjoy !!
