I was trying to clean my ubuntu system and saw that most of the system directories look 100% full. Is this normal? How can I clean these (if unnecessary) files?

This is normal. The /dev/loopx filesystem objects are for snaps - one for each snap application installed. This is what my system looks like (running command df -hl)
