Both your / and /home are on LVM, that might give you some options to juggle. What's the output of
# pvs # vgs # lvs

According to https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/130802 that /var/cache/abrt-di can be cleared down, that'll get you ~3.5GiB.

"yum clean all" might claw back a little more space if the upgrade binaries are stored separately?
Another thing: in my search of Linux partitioning tools I discovered, on
the site Geeks for Geeks, two GUI partition management tools that allegedly offer "data integrity," meaning I could repartition a device without losing data on the partition(s) affected by the repartitioning operation. The ones recommended to me are GParted and the KDE partition manager. I am running in a KDE environment. Would anyone recommend either of those two partitioning tools?
I'd look at LVM before starting to mess with moving/resizing partition boundaries. I didn't actually check which file systems are on your devices, what does the following show:
# df -Tk
You could steal some space from /home and reallocate to / following: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/213245/increase-root-partition-by-r...
