If the system isnt running, surely I wouldnt be able to do anything, so it needs to be online?
Well, you can boot into a Live Linux ISO (Ubuntu or many others) to get to a command shell and do such things with the OS on disk not running. But I think you are fine doing it live after taking a snapshot backup.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks my friend, snapshot taken in hyper-v and command run… Stupid Q now. How do I check if it’s worked
-
@RogerBrownTDL Reboot and take a look at the disk space with
df -h

i’m guessing /dev/mapper/ubuntu–vg-ubuntu–lv 490G 86G 384G 19% / means its worked? -
