[xubuntu-users] Partition problem!

[Gérald Jean]

Hello everyone,


I am stuck in some sort of a mess!


I mostly run Xubuntu 22.04, it's in dual boot with Debian 10. Both are 
installed on the same SSD, 250 GB.


It ran well for a few years, before 22.04, I had 20.04.  But about a 
month ago Xubuntu wouldn't boot anymore.  After some searching and 
booting in rescue mode I found out it was out of space.  Since then I 
run Debian but I like my Xubuntu.


Attached I have a snapshot of what my partitions look like. Xubuntu is 
on /dev/sda5, which I temporarily mounted from Debian to see I could get 
rid of stuff, I can't really, it's pretty much all system stuff, and on 
my "home", Thunderbird is taking over 3Gb, the rest is small.  Debian is 
on /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda6 is for backing up an HDD which is also 
mounted at startup.


As you can see I have unallocated space at the end, apparently it can't 
be merged since one partition is logical and the other primary.  I 
thought that if there was a way to merge them, I would roughly get 45 Gb 
of free space, which would be enough for Xubuntu   IF SOMEONE COULD 
EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO  MOVE IT THERE!!!!


I would appreciate any insights, thanks,
