So you find a file in /usr and want to delete it but another hard link points 
to the same inode so you don't earn more space when deleting the file. That 
is your problem ? This might be the answer:

make a "stat" on the file you want to delete:

chris@teZ7i:~$ stat /usr/big_file
  File: `/usr/big_file'
  Size: 0               Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular empty file
Device: fe01h/65025d    Inode: 243617      Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2008-08-31 01:04:10.000000000 +0200
Modify: 2008-08-31 01:04:10.000000000 +0200
Change: 2008-08-31 01:04:10.000000000 +0200

The Inode of this file is 243617. All you have to do now is
to find every other file pointing to the same inode. (this is what hard-links 
are).
So find to your rescue:
  find /usr -inum 243617
Delete all found files and you get the space you wanted.

Best regards,
   Christoph
