NCDU is a ncurses version of Linux "du" (disk usage) tool. It analyzes your hard disk and shows the amount of disk space every folder uses.
This way it's very simple to find those folders with the largest files. You can even delete files and folders from within ncdu.

After installing ncurses as described at http://www.welped.com/2007/09/03/an-easier-editor-option-for-mybook/ you can easily install "ncdu" on your mybook.

Get ncdu from http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/

wget http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/ncdu-1.3.tar.gz
tar xzvf ncdu-1.3.tar.gz
./configure —prefix=/usr
make
make install

Have fun! :-)

cd /opt
wget http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/ncdu-1.3.tar.gz

cd ncdu-1.3
./configure -prefix=/usr

Compiling gave me an error. I just ran:

ipkg update
ipkg install ncdu
