Is it possible to extend the disk space available to a wubi install?

i install ubuntu 12.04 a couple of months ago. i use the maximum space allowed in ubuntu which is 30g to install ubuntu. Because of ubuntu's updates my disk is now on low space. i wish to add more.. maybe another 50g to make it 80g. Ive seen some tutorial about wubi resize1.5b. BUt i dont know why it says this:

skadush@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo bash wubi-resize_1.5b.sh 80
wubi-resize_1.5b.sh: The new disk cannot exceed 32 GB unless the
wubi-resize_1.5b.sh: --max-override option is used (not recommended).

Please help.. I realy want to extend may disk space on ubuntu.. thanks

Instead of sudo bash wubi-resize_1.5b.sh 80 type sudo bash wubi-resize_1.5b.sh --max-override 80.

Make sure the 50GB, next to your Ubuntu partition, are free.

32 Gig should be more then enough for a wubi install with a small home directory. If you need significantly more you should probably do a full install of ubuntu, not wubi.

Since you said that the disk space is low because of updates you might want to try running sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get autoremove which will remove old files update files and programs that were automatically installed but are no longer needed.
