HDD / Partition reorganization / IM-possible !?

[SYNass IT Ubuntu / Linux]

Hi Daniele
Thanks for your feedback and suggestion !

Of course I have checked the usage of that partition and 
I had defragmented it a few times already !!

Only about little more than 10GB is used out of 40GB but 
there are some "green marked" system data in midst of that 
partition which seem to block further shrinking/s !!!

It looks like I need to backup the whole partition and 
restore it back to the smalled partition ???

Is this correct ??

TIA for further hints and suggestions, cheers
