Is my /system partition needlessly big? - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 8GB Moto G with CyanogenMod 13 installed. I only have around 4,5Gb of free data space in the internal storage. I thought "how much space does Android really need?" so I found this app that showed the internal partitions. I found my /system partition is like 2.3Gb, and it's only using 717Mb, so I'm potentially losing about 1,4~1,5Gb of data space.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I have 2 questions: Is it really necessary to have a /system partition this big (I don't know if it will ever be eventually filled with CM updates or whatever)? And is there an easy way to resize these partitions, something like GParted?
Thanks
EDIT: Alternatively, I'm trying to move some apps to /system/app folder and some more random stuff

[q] how to increase internal storage (via device storage)

Hello!! :laugh:
Im kinda new at this android thing although I managed to do some tweaking with my device lately.. eg. Rooting and deleting some bloatwares and stuff
I just want to know if there is any possibility of increasing my INTERNAL storage.
As you can see from the attached screenshot of my device's memory status (via Clean Master) I have 1008.3MB capacity for my internal storage and 5.4GB from my DEVICE storage. What I want is to maybe take 1GB or 2GB from my DEVICE STORAGE and utilize it for my INTERNAL one. I have moved all movable applications I have to my SDcard and still my Internal Memory is low...
Please help..

[Q] Storage Issue

My Z3 has a notification about my phone has 75% of internal storage used and asks me to move some files to my sd card. However, when I checked the storage inside the setting, it showed that I only used for 4-5 GBs while the available space only has 3 GBs. It is really strange since there should be 12 GBs for this phone where is the missing 3 GBs. So, I would like to ask that what make this happen and how to solve it. My first thought of this kind of issue is the problem of system log, but I dont want to root my phone to deal with this.

[GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can!

I'm using an op7 pro and I followed the guide until the point of calling the dd command (aka everything is installed properly). I have tested 'dd' and it works I can sucessfully copy a partition but I have no idea which one should I copy.
I am trying to do a full copy of the phone's storage but I can't find the 'mmcblkop' directory.
the ls of the dev/block looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would really appreciate if anyone who knows about this indicates to me which one of these is the root of all the partitions and/or the 250gb+ data partition.
I'm a noob, sorry in advance if my question is stupid.
