This question already has an answer here:
How to resize partitions?
4 answers
I'm new to Ubuntu. I've allocated 110 GB to my root partition and I have 315 GB unallocated space and I'm trying to extend my root partition to include the excess 315 GB. I have searched for other methods but i can't understand the process because I have missing partitions like linux-swap and the extend partition.
And also i tried unlocking my ext4 partition but it said
currently in use disk is busy
How can I extend my root partition to use the unallocated space to its left?

Make sure that you have a good backup of your important Ubuntu files, as this procedure can corrupt or loose data.
Keep these things in mind:
always start the entire procedure with issuing a
swapoffon any mounted swap partitions, and end the entire procedure with issuing aswaponon that same swap partitiona move is done by pointing the mouse pointer at the center of a partition and dragging it left/right with the hand cursor
a resize is done by dragging the left/right side of a partition to the left/right with the directional arrow cursor
if any partition can't be moved/resized graphically, you may have to manually enter the specific required numeric data (don't do this unless I instruct you to)
you begin any move/resize by right-clicking on the partition in the lower part of the main window, and selecting the desired action from the popup menu, then finishing that action in the new move/resize window
Do the following...
Note: if the procedure doesn't work exactly as I outline, STOP immediately and DO NOT continue.
- boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
- start
gparted
- right-click on /dev/sda9 and select
move
movethe entire /dev/sda9 partition all the way to the left
resizethe right side of /dev/sda9 all the way to the right- click the Apply checkmark
Reboot the computer.

+1 but OP seems not to have a swap partition, possibly because they have a swap file instead? They seem confused about that, so maybe you could add some hints about it

@Zanna you may be right. OP is confused, and has probably deleted a few partitions... as they only show sda7/8/9. I've left a new comment for OP, but they haven't responded to anybody since 11/26/18. I'll amend my answer if they do. Thanks!
