Unless you did something weird, all those files are actually
the same file, 'ls -i' will show you they share the same inode,
deleteting or more of them isn't going to help unless you delete
them all and then you'll only free up under a megabyte.

I'd symlink /tmp to /var/tmp instead or look for another place
taking up space.
