The root of my disk is showing 222 MB and rest others are in GBs. See: 

df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev             14G     0   14G   0% /dev
tmpfs           2.8G  174M  2.6G   7% /run
/dev/sda1        83G   78G  222M 100% /
tmpfs            14G   25M   14G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs            14G     0   14G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs           2.8G   92K  2.8G   1% /run/user/1000

How can I increase the size of /dev/sda1 while I am still in the system?

    df does not indicate that there is any other partition to borrow drive space from. Please edit your original question to post the output of the following commands, sudo lsblk -f ; sudo lsblk -m ; sudo parted -ls ; If there is no such partition you have only two alternatives: Install more drive space or remove files from your current root file system. – sudodus Dec 07 '17 at 14:47

You have only one partition which is used by the user / or /dev/sda1

This partition have 78GB used and 222MB free.

The simple solution will be to remove junk files / temporary files from /dev/sda1

Instructions:

Note: As mentioned by @dobey and @sudodus - another easy solution will be:

  • Install additional / bigger disk.
