So I am trying to install and update some packages and for that I need some space (around 1 GB) in my root because every-time I open my Ubuntu I get a message that there is not enough space in your root. My gparted looks like this:

enter image description here

I am having a hard time understanding how can I increase my root space as I have much unallocated space in my drives.

I have already tried resizing2fs my /dev/sda5 but nothing worked. I got an output saying that "The filesystem is already 9301770 blocks long. Nothing to do".

What else can I do or how should I proceed ?

    I don't understand where your problem is. /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda7 both are only slightly more than half used, and you only need to do some updates, yes? – heynnema Feb 01 '21 at 00:09

    Something does seem wonky here, gparted is showing you have plenty of space, but you are getting low space warning. With your partition setup, resizing will not be easy. – crip659 Feb 01 '21 at 00:52

    The odd thing about your screenshot is that the root partition is not showing up. Have you got another drive somewhere? – PonJar Feb 01 '21 at 08:58
