NOOBS is a system to not be touched by man or beast.

It spoiled perfectly good cards by turning on the irreversible
write protect bit in the SD controller on the card. The card
someway works, but the partitioning cannot be rectified.

On a normal Raspbian card, gparted works fine, but of course,
it has to be run on a Linux machine separate from the target
Pi. I used Ubuntu 20.04LTS on a VMware virtual guest.
