I downloaded a pre-installed version of centos 7 for VMWare from a website and it has a weird layout. Most disk space is allocated to /root but /home is running out of disk space.
Most tutorials I found online only focus on the other way around: How to move disk space from home to root, but not root to home.
I am new to Linux System, so I would really appreciate any Insight or steps I have to take to solve this issue.

I already tried to follow a tutorial that uses fdisk to create a new partition, but from what I understand I cannot do that as I do not have any unallocated space?
