You can use following command, which also you can find top 10 largest files (>10M) on your ubuntu/linux system, also sort by the biggest:

find / -xdev -type f -size 10M -exec du -sh {} ';' | sort -rh | head -n10

also find combined with ls -la to get more details. You should have sudo privileges to do that

find / -xdev -type f -zise +10M -exec ls -lha {} \; | soft -nk 5

To only see files that are in the gigabyte, do:

du -ahx / | grep -E '\d+G\s+'
