SUMMARY I had four partions on my machine: * /boot/eft (p1) * /boot (p2) * dev 1 of btrfs filesystem (p3) * dev 2 of btrfs filesystem (p4) I removed the p4 device from my btrfs filesystem using the `btrfs device remove ...` command. I then tried to use Partition Manager to delete the p4 partition and resize the p3 partition to use the free space. What was queued for work appears to show that the btfs partition was not located in front of two other partitions on the driver (/boot and /boot/efi mounts). I didn't click to apply the change, so I am not sure what it would have done. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Partition Manager 2. Remove p4 dev with `btrfs device remove ...` 3. Refresh devices in PM 4. Remove p4 partiion. 5. Apply. (This works so far.) 6. Resize p3 partition to end of drive. OBSERVED RESULT GUI shows p3 partiion in front of p1 and p2. I have no idea what happens if I apply at this point. EXPECTED RESULT p1 and p2 are untouched. P3 is resized to end of drive and btrfs filesystem is expanded to fill that space.

Maybe you can paste output of sudo sfdisk --json deviceNode (possibly sudo sfdisk --json /dev/sda but depends on your system)
The system is no longer in the state. I finished the partition changes with gparted, so I can't get you the state at the time of the problem.
