Ubuntu – How to resize the root partition using GParted

gpartedpartitioning

I'm new to GParted. I have to resize a partition that contains root file system which is full. Previously I had Windows installed in my system. I use a 250GB hard drive and was divided into 3 drives namely C, D and E drive. After this I installed Ubuntu and used the existing NTFS file system, to install Ubuntu. Now, I need to resize the partition mounted on root file system as it is full.
Below is the link to screenshot of GParted –
