HELP | Merge partition with unallocated space.
Hello guys!
I made a terrible mistake during installation and I don't know how, my entire disk is almost unusable!
I want now to merge my home folder with this extra space.
Please, how can I do that?

Basically you'll need to get the swap partition "out of the way" so that the unallocated space is right after your Ext4 partition. Then extend your existing Ext4 partition to use the unallocated space. You can shrink some of the unallocated space at the END of it, to remake the swap.
