I am working on a Debian server where I have only console access without sudo. The main folder called applications includes subfolders with all the projects I have.However, when I create a new project through my admin panel, the folder name is a nonsense string and you can rename it by creating a symlink to a new folder.So, of example, the applications folder is like that:applications/    abuwryjbrb    evharjqgxj    MyCustomProjectName1    MyCustomProjectName2I want to check how much space each of the applications use. Since I don't have a lot of experience in Unix, I googled and I found that I can do it with du -sh *.However, the output is like that:91M     abuwryjbrb                                                                                                                                                 201M    evharjqgxj                                                                                                                                                0       MyCustomProjectName1                                                                                                                                          0       MyCustomProjectName2As a result, it is too time consuming for me to check one by one the names and see which folder is which.Is there any way to get an output with the disk usage for the symlinks instead?Edit:Using du -sh -L * instead, I don't get duplicated folders for both original and symlinked, but I get a mixed output like this:91M     abuwryjbrb                                                                                                                                                 201M    MyCustomProjectName1  Where some of the folders have the original name and some the symlink name
Find disk usage of folders with symlinks
debian;symlink;disk usage
You can get usage of symlinks using -L flag along with du command. du -sh -L * should help you.
