I have 500 Gb HDD disk that was divided in two parts during the Ubuntu installation process. Ubuntu was installed on it's own partitions. So how can I get access to the remaining free space?



sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

    In various ways. How can we help if you don't show us the actual configuration? Please edit the question and include at least the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, sudo mount | grep '^/dev/S+' and sudo lsblk.

    Don't worry, these commands are only getting information and will not change anything to your configuration. You can read about these commands (and all others) with man <command>.
