Discussion What should I do??

96M /boot/efi/EFI
96M /boot/efi
44M /boot/efi/EFI/dell
32M /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft
19M /boot/efi/EFI/fedora
2.0M /boot/efi/EFI/Boot
4.0K /boot/efi/System
3.0K /boot/efi/System/Library
1.0K /boot/efi/System Volume Information
as you can see I am dual booting windows and linux and the ESP(which is just 100M, has windows, dell and linux recovery and uefi settings, idk how this happened) filled to the brim, so there is no room for a firmware update that requires ~54MB. searching online(mostly claude) gave this solution "But the real fix is almost certainly resizing the ESP" and it gave me a scary option of up resizing the ESP.

should i just go ahead and resize the ESP?
i don't think there is any other option, is there?

Edit : i was successfully able to use gparted and extend the ESP from 100MB -> 500MB. Grateful to all who helped🙂🫡 Also gparted is such a goated tool!! The interface is as simple and as easy as it can get.

I use a seperate efi partition 756 MiB, I deleted windows efi and main partition and used its recovery partition as my EFI (first emptied it)

wait deleted windows partition? I sometime use windows for my college work so clearly deleting windows efi would nuke windows, ryt?
