Why not use GParted Download an ISO and burn a disk or dongle. (You 
cannot run GParted to modify a mounted partition, so even if you have it 
on your system, it won't help.)

Then you can move partitions around, shrink one, expand another, etc. It 
works really well to modify actual system partitions without wrecking 
anything. If it were me, I wouldn't be using

just one partition for everything, I'd have / and /home, but since you 
have everything on one partition, just delete the other partition and 
expand the one that has everything on it

to fill the space where the empty partition was.
