Hi,
I'm not sure if I understand you right, but all vm-disks on your screen-shot are "in use" - or better say usable for the VM.

If they are used inside the VM you must controle inside the VM.
Helpfull for this (for the overview) are the following commands:
Code:
# show which filesystems are mounted
mount

# hints in fstab?
cat /etc/fstab

# are disks used for lvm?
pvs
vgs
lvs

# partitiontables/type
parted -l
# or
fdisk -l
"resize the 20GB disk with the Disks that are there doing nothing?" depends on your system. If they are realy free - which I don't assume - and you use lvm for your system (20GB-disk) you can extend the VG.

If you have space free on local you can easy extend the system-disk with the gui (and must extend the partiion/filesystem afterwards inside the VM).
