Retried it now and deleted the swap partition manually too. That seemed to work so it must have been the issue - thanks :) I guess something else to ask though is if we should consider increasing the default root partition size from 40GB as it seems quite small for the average use case.

Hi guys,
I am re-installing opensuse Tumbleweed on a laptop because I ran out of disk space on my root partition. It seems to be set to use only 40GB by default (which seems small considering snapshots).
I am having trouble resizing this to a larger amount of space during the installation step. I tried resizing the `/home` partition to a smaller size so that more space is available to use. But it still means you cant use the newly available space it seems due to its position on the disk.
Could someone advise on how I can increase the size correctly?
PS: I tried manually deleting the /home partition, resizing the root, and creating a new /home partition - but the actual installation then failed for me. I'm guessing its because I'm not setting that up correctly.
Hmm, this is what ISTR I did two weeks ago: Select doing my own setup, based on current one, then delete home/swap and change size of root. Finally add other partitions again. The important part is likely the correct layout of the btrfs subvolumes.
