Depends on where you are lacking space. Both ways are possible. With a
full backup in backhand you could use parted to resize your Linux
partition. I don't know how much space you freed, but you could too
format the new space and mount it separately as /home (first mounted as
/home_new to be able to copy existing data), if that consumes lots of
space.
