Expand the filesystem

Make a backup first. Check the new virtual disk size, identify the partition/filesystem layout, then follow the appropriate Linux or Windows procedure. Do not delete another partition just to create adjacent free space. Storage increases are not an in-place downgrade path. See the downgrade policy before committing to a larger allocation.
