"Everything Else" takes more than 120GB. Can I manually delete old and unused backups from the disk?

Initially I had my backups on the filesystem but a few days ago I set them up with Backblaze (I also clicked "Cleanup Backup" before switching, thinking to free up disk space).
Is it normal that "Everything else" takes 120+GB of space?
By using a few times
du -shx * | sort -rh | head -10
starting from root, I found out that the biggest "offenders" outside of the yellowtent home folder are:var/lib/docker/volumes/
57Gvar/lib/docker/overlay2
7.7Gvar/backups
85Gvar/lib
66G
I assume
volumes
,overlay2
, andlib
are all needed or my server will probably die.But in
backups
I have four folders with old dates in the formatYYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS-XXX
which count for >99% of those 85G.So my real question is: is it safe to remove them with a simple
rm -rf
? -
