To be able to look "under" mountpoints, mount-bind the root volume to /mnt:
mount --bind / /mnt
Then look inside it:
cd /mnt du -d1 -h
It will tell you which is the biggest folder, then cd into it and re-run:
cd <big_folder> du -d1 -h
Repeat the operation until there is no more big folder, only the total is big, which means it's big file(s) in the current directory, then:
ls -lhS
When you're finished cleaning up the big files, unmount the temporary bind:
cd umount /mnt

If deleting data doesn't work, you may also need to balance the empty chunks:
btrfs balance start -musage=0 -dusage=0 /

root@readynas:/etc# btrfs balance start -musage=0 -dusage=0 / Done, had to relocate 0 out of 13 chunks root@readynas:/etc#
It didn't help, root is still full.

It is not possible to remove files, rm command always gives error.
root@readynas:/mnt/var/cache/apt/archives# rm libgsm1_1.0.13-4_amd64.deb rm: cannot remove 'libgsm1_1.0.13-4_amd64.deb': No space left on device root@readynas:/mnt/var/cache/apt/archives#
