How can I increase my disk space when Ubuntu is installed alongside with Windows?
Some time ago i reinstalled windows, formating and deleting every partition. I then made 3 partitions:
One only for Windows OS (about 25GB)
One for Ubuntu OS (about 25GB, if i remember corectly 10GB for swap memory and 15GB as an ext4 partition) (not sure if it was that, hope I am not wrong) and like 200GB for all the other stuff.
Recently I got a message that i am running out of disk space.
My question is: is there a way to resize the 200GB partition and add more space for the Ubuntu partition?
Solution 1:
The program baobab, installed by default, can be an helpful tool to see how much space is kept by the several stuff, and maybe delete unnecessary files or move them into another partition.
This could be used to free some space before you decide how to resize the partitions. So, you have:
- 25GB Windows
- 25GB Ubuntu
- 10GB swap
- 15GB ext4
- 200GB ?
Is the 200GB partition in ext4? Do you use that partition only for Ubuntu? If yes, you could mount your /home there and resize the 25GB system partition to 12-13GB.
For which use you made the 15GB partition? If there is no specific use, you could merge the 200GB and the 15GB a single partition
Then, with these operation you could obtain a /home partition of ~227-228GB
