I have increased my Ubuntu's hard disk size to 40GB. But still I don't see it's increased!

I increased it through VM → Settings → Hard Disk(SCSI) → Utilities → Expand. When I power on and and see in terminal, it shows only 7.7GB Free. I want to install some more size DB servers. Due to this, I am unable to do anything on it.

    You need to resize the partitions too, not just the virtual disk. – Andrea Corbellini Aug 29 '13 at 10:52

    The process is the same as highlighted in the duplicate except that instead of rebooting the host computer to a LiveCD, you're rebooting the virtual machine to a LiveCD. Exactly how you do that will differ from VM to VM but it's essentially the same as the method you followed to install until you get to the Try Ubuntu choice. – Oli Aug 29 '13 at 11:43
