Around what percent should rootfs be
 
Mine is at like 85%
Generally, how much room should be available?

Where in the FS is the rootfs located so i can create Symlinks and delete unnecessary files? Ive already Done so to the usr/share/ folder but mine is at 65%

the rootfs is /

It's the "root" of the device.

ETA: Be careful symlinking things.. some things can't be moved and have the device still boot.

There is a script floating around to move a bunch of stuff for you.

Thanks for the responses. I feel normal now. Does anyone know if consumption of rootfs has a direct effect on battery life?

A full rootfs has no direct effect on battery life.
