This question has been asked a lot but,i didn't find a single answer that could help me
I run Ubuntu 19.10 from a 64GB USB2.0 pendrive.
I have distributed the partitions as such :

home : 49GB
snap : 2GB
root : 10GB

Today when i checked the disk manager i found out that i had used up 86.5% of root partition.
What i want to do now is allocate 10GB of home partition to root one .So,the new partitions will be as follows :

home : 39GB
snap : 2GB
root : 20GB

But,when i open Gparted/Disks ,select the partition and then click on the resize option,i receive the following error :

Error unmounting/dev/sdb6: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)
I am not aware of which information to hide. So,in the screenshot provided ,i have censored some parts

What i tried to do before asking this question : I restarted the computer and took note that no other file was open before trying to resize the partition .

If you want any other information to solve my problem. Do let me know.

You cannot change partition size of partitions that are in use. To repartition a drive, start a live session using an installation USB or DVD. Live sessions come with gparted pre-installed.
