I have been in there for hours

StartFragment>

I have been in there for hours without seeing another person.

In the above sentence, 'in' seems redundent.

Since 'there' is adverb, I don't see any good reason there to be 'in'.

Can you teach me why?

It's not redundent if you want to say you were inside a building, or inside another space.
