The following shell script will get the disk usage, in human readable form (-h), sort the results and deliver the top 10 values:

sudo du -Sh | sort -rh | head -10

You can try -
du -shc /home/*

Where,
s :- display total size of a file or total size of all files in a directory.
h :- human readable format.
c :- display a total size usage at the end of result.
