Adele shouldn't be there at all - do you have any idea what it is? It's certainly part of the puzzle (500 MB). If you have another copy of it's contents you should delete it. If not, you can copy it to an existing share on the data volume and then delete the copy in the root. Later on you can put it where you really want it.
But the big problem is /var (2.6 GB) That's about 2 GB more than it should be. So try the mount again and descent into /var. See if you can find where the bulk space is going. When you find the folder, look at the actual file sizes (ls -al), since it might be just one or two files.

StephenB - thanks you are right. No idea how Adele got there but it was her album 21! Deleted now.
/var proved to be the anti-virus so cleaned that up and turned it off.
Many thanks.
