Typically some space is reserved for root, so that you have a little
headroom to extricate yourself from this situation. It looks like it's
the 5% shown below (from an installer screen):
┌────────────────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ You are editing partition #3 of /dev/nvme0n1. This partition is │
│ formatted with the Ext4 journaling file system. All data in it WILL │
│ BE DESTROYED! │
│ │
│ Partition settings: │
│ │
│ Name: Umbo-B │
│ Use as: Ext4 journaling file system │
│ │
│ Format the partition: yes, format it │
│ Mount point: / │
│ Mount options: defaults │
│ Label: umbo03 │
│ Reserved blocks: 5% │
│ Typical usage: standard │
│ Bootable flag: off │
│ │
│ Resize the partition (currently 31.5 GB) │
│ Erase data on this partition │
│ Delete the partition │
│ Done setting up the partition │
│ │
│ <Go Back> │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Cheers,
