Is there any Possibility to reset the partitions after installation

Question

I installed Ubuntu 16 on a 8GB pendrive (Bootable Drive) and created two partitions for Ubuntu(Ext4 - 6000MB, Swap - 2000MB). I want to resize the partitions without re-installing the Ubuntu. Is there any possibility???

It's possible to change sizes, move partitions, delete swap, but reset, no, I don't think so. May very much depend on your definition of reset. — mikewhatever, Jan 12 '18 at 05:33

If by reset you mean resize then there's a utility called gParted which can be used but it will destroy the data as any kind of change in partition table of drive will end in formatting that part of drive.

Therefore, No, there isn't any possibility.
