[NTLUG:Discuss] huge file/directory size in ..

[o k]

All.
 
Can any one let me know what is going on here?
It says there are 24344 files and the size is huge on .. directory, but only see 2 files.
i know I a wrong sed command and creates a huge sed* files. I think i deleted them.
How do I fix the problem?
thanks.
