I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and wanted to use a live USB stick to partition my hard drive. While partitioning something went wrong and my computer crashed. After restart it shows me that 70 percent of the disk is used, which is not correct.
Is there any way to fix the hard drive without formatting the entire thing and losing all of my data?

sudo parted -landlsblk -fIf resizing partition by moving it, a crash in the middle can damage system so data is not recoverable or part in old partition location & part in new location on drive. What does testdisk show? If deeper search shows files immediately back those up to another drive. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery & http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk – oldfred Feb 08 '23 at 14:57
