Is there any command similiar to
Diskpart ------> ??
chkdsk --------> ??
And used in Linux
Diskpart = parted maybe? or fdisk?
chkdsk = fsck
I don’t use Windows, and really have no idea what “Diskpart” is… I mostly don’t ever hardly use “parted” either - but I often use fdisk, so often, I can almost use it with my eyes closed…
fsck can usually only be run on unmounted devices - e.g. if your “/” is on /dev/sda1, you probably can’t fsck it…
Note also - there’s a GUI version of parted, called “gparted”…

@daniel.m.tripp’s advice is very good.
gparted is an excellent graphical tool to create, delete, shrink and increase partitions.
Note: In order to modify a partition, you need to unmount it. This can obviously not be done with a partition, you’re actively using. gparted therefore also comes with an ISO to create a bootable medium.
Please make sure, you backup your important personal data before messing around with partitions.
