Ubuntu does not see whole partition after resizing

I have a 1TB NVME Samsung SSD which had 2 major partitions (apart from efi).

One 325GB which contained Ubuntu, and one about 600GB which contained Windows.

I decided to stop dual-booting to use only Ubuntu. So I booted on live usb, and using gparted, i removed the 600GB partition, I expanded the 325GB to fill the empty space and I fixed grub.

Everything went well except Ubuntu doesn't see the expanded partition.

fdisk -l returns this

Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 931.51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Disk model: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 96B74F5A-B917-49C4-A63F-6225ACC52262

Device          Start        End    Sectors   Size Type
/dev/nvme0n1p1   2048     206847     204800   100M EFI System
/dev/nvme0n1p3 206848 1953490943 1953284096 931.4G Linux filesystem

df -h returns this

/dev/nvme0n1p3           325G  302G  6.1G  99% /

Ubuntu tells me that my disk is full

KDE Partition manager clearly sees the whole partition, and the 307GiB used, as shown in following screenshot

How can I make Ubuntu see the whole expanded partition?

Thank you

How exactly did you resize the partition? Can you add the entire output from `fdisk -l` (add to your question, please)?

OK I finally found the missing step.

All that was remaining to do was

sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p3

Now df -h returns this

/dev/nvme0n1p3           916G  145G  731G  17% /

Hope this helps someone else

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
