The partition which is full is not adjacent to the partition which you wish to expand (/dev/sda5), and the adjacent partitions are as nearly full as /dev/sda5. Since the partition running out of space is your /home partition, all of the files should be visible. Have you emptied your trash? Xubuntu does not necessarily empty the trash automatically. Other than that suggestion, I would be stuck backing up what was needed, wiping all partitions, then re-partitioning and restoring from backup.
