Through my own poor planning and not really understanding how linux file system works, I've run out of space on the home folders, and I am struggling to understand the way drives work.
I have 3 hard drive in my machine. 1TB, 2TB, 2TB.
One of the 2TBs has all my personal files, music, pictures, etc from over the years.
The 1TB I had labelled "Linux". On it is only a folder called System Volume Information.
The final 2TB I split into 2 in windows, one partition for Windows and the other for Linux.
I'm now running low on space for "file system", with only 12GB remaining space!
What's my next steps here? Can I move software to the empty 1TB? can I easily get rid of the windows partition?
