Sure thing, gparted will allow you to (more or less) safely resize that partition. It's fairly straightforward to install and use, say though if you get stuck on any specific issues. I'd still make a backup of any personal data first but it's rare that things go wrong.

Re: resize partition of linuxmint hard drive
gparted installed into mint i could not make the needed changes, i did however boot the live gparted disk and managed to resize the partition and create a new 'Mint Storage' partition, so, much thanks for the info.
