Hello, I'm still fairly fresh to Linux - only 2-3 months in.
So i have a computer that has both Linux and Windows 10 installed. Grub is loading every time i boot - I installed Windows first and then Linux after (which is the way I want). My computer only has a single drive. In Windows I partitioned the drive into 3:
-C Drive (330GB)
-D drive (399/400GB)
-Unallocated space for the Linux installation
Then i installed Linux OS.
Now i did a sudo adduser to make another Linux account. It didn't ask me how much space it was going to allocate for the new user, so I was only surprised to find out afterwards. Then i noticed i have 2 Linux partitions which are: /dev/sda8 and /dev/sda9
I find that allocating 93.13 GB for the new user (/dev/sda9) is way too much. I only want it to be around 20 GB.
How can i allocate the space from /dev/sda9 (new user) to /dev/sda8 (old user)?
Do i use window's Disk management tool or Linux's gparted (or is there any rule of thumb on what to follow/use when re allocating hard disk space especially if you're on dual boot?) Is there any consequence of
Also in Linux, how do I know what user is assigned to what sda#? (I only managed to find out this info on a file manager)
Attached are the screenshots of my Gparted from Linux and Windows Disk Management Tool
