df shows my /usr 97%. so i intend to do some housekeeping. however, in
/usr , there are other filesystems as well, like
/usr/sap/SID and others.

i could do a find size +10000. but these output could be in other
filesystems besides /usr. hence, the 97% of /usr will still remain.

my solution is to find files that are big and could be deleted under
/usr but are not in other filesystem and that can be done by doing a
df -kt | grep usr. so directories under /usr that are not listed by
the previous command will affect
the size of /usr?

am i right?

I'm not sure of your Unix version, but check out "man find" and look at
the -mount option.

Use the -xdev option to find to prevent it from leaving the filesystem.

Also -xdev on several variants.

I tend to hunt for large directories first by
du -x /usr | sort -n | tail -40
or something like that. So, first look for "big collections", only
after that go for large single files.
