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.

ns num Number of sectors per track
nt num Number of tracks per cylinder
nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk
ba num Block size for partition `a' (bytes)
bd num Block size for partition `d' (bytes)
be num Block size for partition `e' (bytes)
bf num Block size for partition `f' (bytes)
bg num Block size for partition `g' (bytes)
bh num Block size for partition `h' (bytes)
fa num Fragment size for partition `a' (bytes)
