I am trying to extend my partition as i have 183gb unallocated, but it will not let me extend it.
I am running into storage issues due to the fact my partition is only 42gb.

Even in other operating systems it throws the same error, on windows it said "no free space" even when it said 183gb unallocated. I have no way to extend it because the volume seems to be lockdd at 42.5gb max.

When i open up the disk manager it gives me the option to resize the partition but it does not allow for me to make the partition larger, only smaller. The partitions are

@native echo, be careful, the rm command removes specified files and directories; rm options files.

For some options:
-r, -R or --recursive removes directories and their contents recursively.
-f or --force ignores nonexistent files and arguments, never prompts.
With --no-preserve-root, even the essential root directory / is not treated specially.

AND ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING MOUNTED TO THE MASTER FILE SYSTEM

files should only have things that are not essential to you and a functioning Linux system.

For more details see man rm and man hier, and consider yourself warned if you are being malicious.
