Unless you have /usr mounted as a partition, it is ust a directory on the root
filesystem

Disk space is disk space. You can delete files anywhere, but to keep from "breaking"
things, tred carefully.
I would uninstall RPMS, (utilities, games, services, etc.) that I don't use or need.
X Windows managers and graphics packages use up a lot of disk space.
Use df -m to show how much free space you have in mb.
