how to resize disk space in ubuntu on VM?

Question

I am new to ubuntu when I install it on virtualbox I assign it 8gb normal size of disk space, but now it shows me popup for low disk space. I don't know how can I increase disk space to get rid of this warning.

I tried using following command: VBoxManage modifyhd YOUR_HARD_DISK.vdi --resize SIZE_IN_MB but received an error

'VBoxManage' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

any suggestion would be much appreciated.

@Matas Vaitkevicius can i increase it without reinstalling it? — Hassan

I think you need to go to virtual box settings for that instance. — Matas Vaitkevicius

Looks like your host OS is Windows. Since VBox program directory is not in PATH variable by default, you need to specify a full path manually. Or change current dir to VBox program dir. Try to run

cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

first to change current directory in cmd, and then run your command.
