How full is the OS partition? There are other causes for your issue, and it seems likely that a full OS is not your issue.
What apps do you have installed on the NAS? Can you post the results of du /var/lib -h -d 1
/Dev/md0 is maxed out at 100%.
It looks like /Var/Lib is only 528M. The only apps i have is Plex at 2.6GB and Tautulli at around 300M
You have some stuff in /var/lib that I don't, but the main difference in the size is in clamav - I have that turned off.
If you aren't seeing where the space has gone, then it likely is hiding underneath a mount point.
Try mount /dev/md0 /mnt and then look in /mnt. Then you'll only see what is actually stored there. When finished, do a cd // and then umount /mnt
