Missing HDD space after removing Boot Camp partition

[Weaselboy]

Now I’m thinking of the possibility of the damaged ssd...

That is what I am wondering. Because even is there were a bunch of odd partitions left on there, the first line in the diskutil list command should show the size of the physical drive, and yours does not.

I asked the guy from apple store and was told that to replace the ssd is going to be around a thousand euros, which is why decided to come here to see if there’s chance to fix it myself...As the amount spendin on fixing this could be almost half of a new Mac.

Anyway, thanks so much for your help. I do really appreciate your time!

Hi @Weaselboy I tried creating a partition through bootcamp in order to install windows but seems that something went wrong after the partition was created maybe because i disabled filevault in the middle of the process and i couldnt get bootcamp working with the partition. I tried deleting the partitions that were created but now im stuck with free space and i cant get rid of it. what should i do to get the free space back?

This is what i get from the command diskutil list

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 186.0 GB disk0s2

/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +186.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 133.0 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 21.3 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 517.8 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4

Im currently uploading all my files to google drive since i have no external hard drives. Please help me

Do a command-option-r boot to Internet recovery. You should see a grey globe while the recovery utility downloads.

Then start Disk Utility and select where it says Apple SSD at the top of the left column. Then click the erase tab and format to APFS. That should format it back to one, large drive. Then quit Disk Utility and reinstall the OS.

This of course erases all your data.
