No need to remove access to any files to save space, just hardlink duplicates to each other if the home directories are on the same partition, so 'rm' and 'ln' might be good. (Admittedly, you'd probably want to verify the list of candidates too to avoid doing things like linking .bashrc's to each other, and if you're security-conscious you might want to avoid hardlinking executables.
