My root (/) file filesystem was full on Guest VM with OS of Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 7 created on Oracle Virtualbox. Reboot to your main OS, you should see the new space available.Resize your main partition to also include the unallocated space next to it.

This should effectively move your unallocated space 'next to' your main partition. Now move/resize the external partition 'all the way to the right' (it lets you now). Then right click on the 'internal' partition (now located at the very left most end of the a larger partition), and 'move/resize' it to the very end of that partition (you can just click in the middle and drag it to the right). Now 'move' it to also include all the unallocated space (it won't let you move the left-most side yet) and click ok. In this case right click on the dashed cyan line surrounding the swap partition, and choose move/resize. If that doesn't work (it doesn't let you resize it-the left arrow doesn't work) then your swap partition might be contained in a secondary partition.

(if you have a swap partition) follow the instructions on the blog post to 'move it to the right'.
