You are exploring the wrong area. The fact /proc is reporting it uses 219 GB while your root partition size is 7.9 GB should have given a clue to you. Forget about /proc which uses no space on disk anyway.
I suspect you cleared files which were open by running processes. The size they use on disk won't be recovered as long as the processes are alive. The simplest way would be to either restart the services using the cleared files or to simply reboot the server.
However, /usr is using 6.2 out of 7.9 GB. If you still need to recover space after rebooting the server, I'm afraid you'll have to either remove unused packages or relocate them. Beware that both options are risky.

xchangepointercontrol
XChangePointerControl(3X11) MIT X11R4 XChangePointerControl(3X11)
Name
XChangePointerControl, XGetPointerControl - control pointer
Syntax
XChangePointerControl(display, do_accel, do_threshold, accel_numerator, accel_denominator, threshold)
Display *display;
Bool do_accel, do_threshold;
int accel_numerator, accel_denominator;
int threshold;
XGetPointerControl(display, accel_numerator_return, accel_denominator_return, threshold_return)
Display *display;
int *accel_numerator_return, *accel_denominator_return;
int *threshold_return;
Arguments
accel_denominator
Specifies the denominator for the acceleration multiplier.
accel_denominator_return
Returns the denominator for the acceleration multiplier.
accel_numerator
Specifies the numerator for the acceleration multiplier.
accel_numerator_return
Returns the numerator for the acceleration multiplier.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
do_accel Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether the values for the accel_numerator or accel_denominator are used.
do_threshold
Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether the value for the threshold is used.
threshold Specifies the acceleration threshold.
threshold_return
Returns the acceleration threshold.
Description
The function defines how the pointing device moves. The acceleration, expressed as a fraction, is a multiplier for movement. For example,
specifying 3/1 means the pointer moves three times as fast as normal. The fraction may be rounded arbitrarily by the X server. Accelera-
tion only takes effect if the pointer moves more than threshold pixels at once and only applies to the amount beyond the value in the
threshold argument. Setting a value to -1 restores the default. The values of the do_accel and do_threshold arguments must be for the
pointer values to be set, or the parameters are unchanged. Negative values (other than -1) generate a error, as does a zero value for the
accel_denominator argument.
can generate a error.
The function returns the pointer's current acceleration multiplier and acceleration threshold.
Diagnostics
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument
defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
