I have directories that agedu shows as having large files. However, agedu doesn’t tell me what the names of the files are.

A quick find will sort that

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec \/usr\/bin\/ls -al {} \; | awk '{print $5,$9}' | sort -nr >  bigfiles.txt

Run this, and you will have a file called bigfiles.txt that has the size in bytes and the filename. This does not work recursively, with the flag -maxdepth 1 preventing that.
