How to expand it or free it?

root (/dev/root) is always "full" because it's in ROM. That's normal.

/root is a symlink to /tmp/home/root so that resides in RAM. Your output shows it is only 1% used.

If you needs extra space in your home directory (ie. not "/" as above, but rather the home dir for root - ie. the dir you get when logged in and enter "cd ~"), you could use a USB and mount over existing.

Add the following (be sure to customize USB name) to your post-mount script in /jffs/scripts.

if [ "$1" = "/mnt/YOUR_USB_NAME_HERE" ];then
    mount -o bind $1/newroot /home/root
fi

You need to create folder "newroot" on your USB or whatever you want to call it.
