Several people have now suggested saving space in a bits of the filesystem that Stephen has on dedicated partitions, so this is not helpful. This partitioning scheme seems really odd and unwieldy. So much wasted space on partitions that will never need anything like what they have been assigned. This seems like a great example of how not to partition a system - anyone thinking of using this many partitions really should consider LVM in future. Anyway, Stephen, you need to focus on finding useless things in / and either removing them or moving them elsewhere. If it's just data then it looks like somewhere under /home would be a good choice as it has 292G available. Ask before deleting anything you don't fully understand.
