I would go into /usr and /var and run this command:

du -h --max=1|grep G

to find your largest fodlers and drill down. Honestly, 20 GB for your root to include /usr and /var is really too small and you will be fighting ongoing issues.

You could consider moving /var/lib/mysql to /home if you have a lot of database usage which will buy you some time.

Moving this is not as simple as JUST moving it, so I would research exactly how to go about this if you end up wanting to do that.

/usr/share is another one you can move and symlink but this usually buys you less than a GB.

Oh, and do NOT move /usr/share if you are running cloudlinux.

This is 100% true - this is really not enough space, /usr alone should have at the very least 25g

This is definitely an option as @GOT suggests though, it's not as easy as just moving it. There are quite a few resources that describe how to do this but you might get some information from the following: The proper way to move MySQL to a second drive
