I want to resize my root partition using Gparted but before doing it I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. Here is a screenshot of my GParted:

I know this question has been answered before here: Link but the answer is too old and I want to know will that work in Ubuntu 18.04 or I have to try other method. And also is it better to mess around with Gparted or Uninstall and reinstall ubuntu

Gparted is the right tool, no need to reinstall. You need an Ubuntu Live USB, boot from it, choose try without installing and run gparted from there.

  • Resize your sda10 partition, move it to the right
  • Move your sda9 partition to the right as well
  • Then you'll be able to resize the root partition using the newly created unallocated space to the right of it
