I don't know if this is relevant on this forum.
So I have the Following Partition structure on my PC.
So, I was Going to delete the /dev/sda3, /dev/sda6 and the swap Partitions and move the /dev/sda4 to the right to make space for a larger Ubuntu Partition on the start of the disk.
In your Experience, how long will it take in Gparted? Also, what is the best way to do this? (All Data is backed up. So will it be faster to simply delete the partition and make a new one to copy 750 GB data onto it?)
[Desktop: Core i5 6500, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, a 1TB HDD and a 2 TB HDD]
The problem is that in case there is a power cut, the UPS may not be able to power it for long.
I guess I am going to delete this partition and make a new one on a new disk in ext4 and then reuse this disk later.

About 2 hours with a high end HDD. However since you probably want to backup anyway it might be faster to use partclone if the file system is mostly free space.
