"Disk Full" After a rsync failure?

So I ran an rsync over night in a tmux sessions. It was to copy contents from one mount to another (USB disks).

Rsync command was:

rsync --info=progress2 /mnt/wdpassport /mnt/wdredpro

When I woke up this morning I saw that my / is completely full. While I'm actually sure it is not.

What can I do to solve this?

Output of: df at the moment of unmounted wdredpro 4tb

Something is not right with the /dev/mapper/ubuntu but not sure how to fix.

When I try to run sudo du -a /home | sort -n -r | head -n 20 to see where the biggest files are coming from I'm getting this output:

sort: write failed: /tmp/sortDfVeHU: No space left on device
10 Reset to default
