Reduce system inode count

I have lots of space on my system.
Code:
linux-e30c:~ # df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        41G  3.4G   35G   9% /
/dev/sda3        91G   36G   51G  42% /home
/dev/sda2        99G  3.4G   91G   4% /usr

But still somehow the inode count has almost finished up and some times I am not able to create files.
Code:
linux-e30c:~ # df -ih
Filesystem     Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        2.6M  2.6M   12K  100% /
/dev/sda3        5.8M  109K  5.7M    2% /home
/dev/sda2        6.3M  143K  6.2M    3% /usr

I tried deleting many files especially of small sizes.
Is there any way(other then to format the sda1) out of this issue to decrease the inode count?

For the different categories of devices, the mkdevmaps command checks for the following files under /dev: audio /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/... tape /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/... floppy /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd* removable disk /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s? frame buffer /dev/fb ATTRIBUTES
