Resizing partitions under crypt lux

I installed arch with crypt lux, on top of which is logical volume on top of which are 2 partitions mounte as / and /home. I had windows installed on other half of the disk but I deleted it and now I want to use that space with arc. But gparted cant work with crypt lux, and I fount some tutorials on google how to do that but it looks pretty risky. Is there an easy way to add that empty space to arch linux partitions? Or can I somehow just remove crypt lux without problems?

Re: Resizing partitions under crypt lux

The simplest way to go on would be making a whole backup, creating your partitions, encryptions, lvm etc. and then basically rewriting your data. Be sure to take care of your bootloader configuration and fstab file.
