How can I resize my filesystem partition?

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1613 / 3 Years ago, mon, june 28, 2021, 7:01:07

So, when I installed Ubuntu a long time ago, I made five partitions.

System Reserved 500 mb

Windows 8 partition 250gb

Ubuntu swap 5 gb

Ubuntu "/" 10 gb

Ubuntu "home" 40 gb

I only got 1 gb free on my "/" partition and I would like to resize the "home" partition to give at least 10 to 15 gbs more to the "/" partition...

What should I do?
