Trying to show the size taken up by a specific directory, I'm my case, the HOME directory : <p>I've tried </p>

<pre><code>df -H $HOME
</code></pre>

<p>But I just get</p>

<pre><code>Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p2   31G  7.9G   21G  28% /
</code></pre>

<p>This is not correct as the total used size of my home directory is only 800MB</p>
