Now, I see that my desktop running rhel 5.6 has run out of space. Now I need to clean it up. There must be some unintentional files adding up. What I would like to be able to do is list the files in descending size order in a clean way and see the culprits.

Less likely a solution, but you may have some duplicated files to remove. See [Is there an easy way to replace duplicate files with hardlinks?](http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/3037/10412) for some tools. – manatwork Nov 16 '11 at 12:10

The command find . | xargs ls -l | grep ^- | sort -k 5 -n helped to zero down some culprits.. – xyz Nov 16 '11 at 12:20

First thing to try is yum clean packages. Have a look at man yum for more cleanup options.
Other things you could do are mostly cleaning your own downloaded files, logs etc., to which there' no general rule.
