Unfortunately, there is no easy "one step solution" to merging partitions. Fortunately, your partition is pretty small. It'll be easy to combine the two.
- Mount
/dev/sdc2
(the smaller partition). - Copy all of its files to the Desktop or another temporary location.
- In GParted, delete that partition, and then extend out
/dev/sdc1
to use all available free space. - Mount the newly-resized
/dev/sdc1
and copy all files from your desktop back to the SD card.
If the partitions are empty (or you don't care about losing what's on /dev/sdc2
), you can simply delete the partition then resize /dev/sdc1
out. Note that you will lose anything on that partition.
