Reallocating Disk Space/Deleting a Dual-Boot O.S.

[Brian Alex]

Hello my Linux brethren and sistren. When I created this dual-boot Mint/Ubuntu on a 250GB SSD I thought 51 GB would be fine for a Ubuntu system. Now it seems my Ubuntu is short of space and Mint is a bit cramped as well. Also this version of Ubuntu is not update-able (25.04) <--- different subject and thread.

Can someone point me to a good beginner level tutorial on reassigning the Ubuntu partition for use on my Mint partition. I can always just give Ubuntu it's own SSD later. Thanks! -BA

First, clone or backup the important data on your hard drive.

Then, Google gparted.

Thanks Mike. I did Google gparted and installed it but I ended up just using the built in "Disks" utility and all is fine again. Waiting for the next long term Ubuntu and will just give it it's own SSD. -BA
