Don't know if that really helps but from a console do the following

# du -ch /usr

du , stands for disk usage ,
the above command will print on screen all
the subdirectories under the /usr directory
with a number on their left , which is the amount of disk
space that they consume . With that you will see which directories
consume the most space and act accordingly .
