Hello Linux users and please excuse my dumb question!

I remember a couple months ago when i was setting up my OS, i allocated a 100gb partition for Linux Ubuntu, and according to what i have read on the internet at that time 100gb seemed more than enough, however since yesterday i'm not able to download new programs using the sudo command in the command line and i get frequently a notification telling me that i'm running outta space, i also do not understand why my Ubuntu OS is only using 14.7gb when i have allocated 100gb to the system!

Thanks in advance, much love! enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

    Apparently, you have not allocated 100GB to Ubuntu. :~)

  • It seems that most of that space went to that /home partition which is still Ubuntu isn't it ?

  • Unless you specifically put your /home in a different partition, it is included in the / partition.

    This doesn't tell you much other than you allocated 14.7 GB to root. Run lsblk which shows how much was allocated to your home folder.

    Boot into Live Ubuntu. Open Gparted. /home (sda7) is too large. Reduce it to 30GB, leaving 19GB free before it. You don't need a partition for linux swap. You already have a swap file in use - /swapfile so you can delete sda6. That will leave about 34GB of unallocated space. You then increase sda5 to fill that space which will give you just under 48GB for root, which is ample space.

Problem solved, i just had to cut some space from Linux-swap and append it to root using Gparted, thanks everyone for your help.
