It is in the root of whatever filesystem you just restored.
That essentially means the mount point value.
If you have just restored /usr 
(correctly by doing:    cd /usr    restore -rf ...)
then it will be in /usr.

Don't worry about it.  There is no harm in leaving it there
until you get around to it.  It just uses up space.
