Given that /usr is your large partition already, you can't save
yourself by moving stuff from /usr to your large partition.
If you are really using all that disk, you may just need more
disk.

But, to check on this, track it down with du(1).

  cd /usr
  du -sk *
look at what is using the space.   If it is junk or stuff
that is no longer needed, nuke it.
If it is another directory with various stuff, cd in to is 
and do another du.  
  cd local            // or whereever.
  du -sk *

If you can't get back enough space, go disk shopping.
