reassign more disk space to my user account

[nikunj2]

It seems I have plenty of free space (around 400GB) but my user account is out of space (only 1GB left). Is there anyway I can reassign more disk space to my user account?

Hi nikunj2, welcome to the forums.

First things first, back up anything before doing it.

After that being done:

• Boot to a LiveCD or LiveUSB drive in "Try me" mode.
• Load Gparted
• Resize your partitions (right click, click resize, follow the instructions).
• Click apply and sit back while it does the job.
• Reboot, taking out the USB stick or CD when it tells you to.

Let's see what the disk space is like. Run this from a terminal and post back the result.

sudo fdisk -l

By user space, does that mean you have a separate /home partition? Or are you talking about the filesystem partitions.
While you're in the terminal, get the output of: sudo df -h
