I have the following setup:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Internal Harddisk with 500 GB
- External Harddisk with 4 TB (not important for my problem)
The internal harddisk shows the following properties with the GParted app:

At the moment, I am using about 7 GB of the harddisk. The installation is new and during the installation I chose my 500 GB harddisk for installation, but I didn't make any partitions, because I wasn't sure how to do it. I was hoping to do it now. But it is not very intuitive. I assume that the 7 GB data is not spread all over my harddisk and therefore I can still split it into two partitions:
- OS (50 GB)
- DATA (the rest of the harddisk)
Could you give me some pointers on how to proceed? Do I need additional software? Any help appreciated.
