I formatted the unallocated space to fat32 (don't know if that was right). Now I want to extend my dev/sda5 for more memory as I'm currently getting warnings about my low memory space. Above My /dev/sda5 is New Partition #1 with 19.53 gigs and below it is the linux-swap. I can take memory from the linux swap as well as I have quite a bit of RAM.

I read that I'm meant to boot off USB and run GParted, unswap the linux-swap and then delete it. Unmount the sda5 and after that, resize the /dev/sda5 to take up some of that hard drive space and then turn on swap afterwards. Is this right? Double checking because I already messed it up once.

Don't forget to set the mount point to "/"

then in terminal:

sudo update_grub

The swap of 4 GB is more than enough if you have RAM >= 8 GB .
