Do you know what firmware you are running? In particular, was the NAS converted to run OS 6?
In general, you need to identify the files that are filling it. In many cases it is one or two very large file.
If the NAS is booted normally, then it is helpful to remount the OS partition (because there are a lot of mount points). So start by entering
mount --bind / /mnt
Then use
du -csh /mnt/*
to see the space used in each folder. You can then descend into the largest folders, and isolate the files.
If you have external drives attached to the NAS, also look in /mnt/media. The folders in this folder are all mount points, and they should be empty.
BTW, when you are finished, you should unmount the OS
cd //
umount /mnt

That is good, though usually the OS partition is about 30% full. So there probably is more stuff that could be deleted.
Are you running OS 4.2? Or have you converted the NAS to run OS-6?

ah ok,
It's converted to OS and I'm running version 6.9.5 Hotfix 1.
I cleaned the log folder and it went from 1.9 G to 900M.
I dare not remove more without knowing what is safe to remove.
I tried to rename the whole folder first but then the GUI ended up in "setup" mode so I had to change it back
Regards
Andreas

Ok, then it is best to use btrfs fi df // and not normal df.
You should also try running btrfs balance // as that will reclaim free space.
