18.04 - I keep running out of space - how can I enlarge my partition?
When I first installed Ubuntu I dual booted with awful disgusting windows and just decided this week to go pure Ubuntu. I love it however now I have a large formatted volume 500 gigs (where windows was, I formatted it in Linux) but my OS is only 20 gigs. I want to triple or quadruple my os partition and not lose any of my files.
Is there a way I can take space from the 500 gig partition and add it to my 20 gig os partition?
