Practically, I'm new to Linux and I have issues, increasing the size of my sda2 partition where Linux is running. I also have tried several fixes, but it's not working completely.
>> fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 186.3 GiB, 200049647616 bytes, 390721968 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xbfed78a3
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 63 308826119 308826057 147.3G 7
HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 * 308828160 390719487 81891328 39.1G 83 Linux
Then I proceeded with this...
>> e2fsck -f /dev/sda2
e2fsck 1.44.2 (14-May-2018)
/dev/sda2 is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
Then this:
>> resize2fs /dev/sda2
resize2fs 1.44.2 (14-May-2018)
The filesystem is already 10236416 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!
I'm out of Options myself, How do I go about it?

The problem is that/dev/sda2 is mounted. NEVER try to run fsck or resize mounted partitions - you will damage them quite horribly (which is why those applications refuse to work when the partition is mounted).
