nouns - Can a preposition be before an adverb?

Ok, this site says




The preposition is almost always before the noun or pronoun and that
is why it is called a preposition




Now, this oxford dictionary says





here (adverb)



used after a verb or preposition to mean ‘in, at or to this
position or place’



I live here.



Put the box here.




Let's get out of here.



Come over here.




So, the dictionary says "here is an adverb & we can put a preposition before here"



Eg: I am in here




I would say the dictionary is not correct, "here" in "in here" is a pronoun or noun. But I am not sure.



The same thing happened to "there".



Eg: he is in there; he is up there



Can a preposition be before an adverb?
