Is there a way to give EndeavourOS more space without having to reinstall it? (Dual-Booted with Windows 10)

How can I do that? Sorry, I’m new to all of this, and when I do that, can I just delete the the second efi partition?

You surely have your reason for wanting to increase the size of your root partition.
I see you have still a good chunk of space left (~81 G).
I would personally mount the Windows partition if more storage space is needed and leave the whole thing as is. But this is only a subjective opinion.

Yeah, I underestimated the size I wanted again, I’m thinking of deleting some files/moving them to endeavour os from windows then I can resize it more, since all I need from windows is just for backup and/or games that won’t work on wine

How can I do that?

I’m assuming you will reinstall EndeavourOS, right?
Also I’m assuming you are not using btrfs filesystem?
The installer should guide you, e.g. simply mount the existing 100M efi partition to /boot/efi.
Just be careful in the disk management stuff in the installer not to wipe wrong partitions. :wink:

No worries mate, all of us have been newbies.

and when I do that, can I just delete the the second efi partition?

While reinstalling, yes.

Ah, alright. I’ll do that, just thought that there was a way to do it without reinstalling, thanks!

I never heard of a “btrfs” file system, but I don’t think i use it, is there a way to check? Also i just pick the 100mb efi partition in the setup, only?

There is but not for the “faint of hearts” :wink:

Then you probably are not using btrfs but ext4. Check e.g. with command df.

If by “pick” you mean you’ll mount it to e.g. /boot/efi, then yes. Do not format nor wipe it.

Yes, it is ext4.

You may want to delete downloaded packages from time to time.
