That's okay. Most of them were probably /dev or /sys, or secure files
(e.g. /etc/shadow). If you want, you can run:
sudo fdupes -nr /
and you'll be able to check more. Probably not worth it though.

It's not always obvious. I'll try to give a few tips, as you asked.

This is just a default file. You should leave it so everything will be
normal if you create another user.

This is apparently a temp file that was copied all over. You can delete
them all if you don't plan to reinstall.

I would just delete all old torrent files.

Obvious what these are.

Not sure. What is /home/steven/HOME

Normal. Just leave it.

These are from old kernels. Don't try to remove anything manually, but
you can do, e.g.:
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.25-2-386
Don't actually run that command, it's just an example. But this shows
how you can remove an old kernel, if you're sure which is old!

Normal.

You have two versions of Java, which may or may not be what you want.
I don't know. You didn't post df -Th, and I'm not sure how your
filesystem is laid out. The command I gave was only an example, as I
said. It's possible that for instance /etc is mounted inside of Documents.

No.
