Reclaiming free space after deleting bootcamp partition

[Niemiec]

Hello Im having a bit of a problem with getting my free disk space back to the Macintosh HD partition. So i deleted the bootcamp partition with the bootcamp assistant and this is where i got (screenshot attatched) - im stuck with not reclaiming my free space from the bootcamp partition, and i lack the skill to do it myself. Thera are some how-to's but hardly any which could help in my situation. Hope to find help here Sorry for my poor english - im not native english speaker, but i hope i described the problem right.

So, my ssd is 250gig but the diskutil app sees only 170 gig. The rest is/was the deleted bootcamp partition.


This is my diskutil list :

/dev/disk0 (internal):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme 251.0 GB disk0

1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 171.4 GB disk0s2

3: Microsoft Reserved 16.8 MB disk0s3



/dev/disk1 (synthesized):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: APFS Container Scheme - +171.4 GB disk1

Physical Store disk0s2

1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 153.4 GB disk1s1

2: APFS Volume Preboot 46.2 MB disk1s2

3: APFS Volume Recovery 509.8 MB disk1s3

4: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4

The following procedure will remove that BootCamp partition, 100% guaranteed:

1. Get either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Both are free to download and use for 30 days (doing this will cost you nothing)
2. Get an external drive
3. Use CCC or SD to clone the contents of your Mac partition (the regular partition you boot into and work from) to the external drive
4. Now, BOOT FROM the external drive (press the power on button, IMMEDIATELY hold down the "option" key CONTINUOUSLY until the startup manager appears, then select the cloned drive and hit return).
5. When you get booted from the external drive, open Disk Utility
6. In the upper-left-hand-corner of Disk Utility, choose "show all devices"
7. Now, click the uppermost line for your internal drive (this represents the physical drive itself).
8. Next, click the "erase" button and ERASE the internal drive, completely. You would choose APFS, GUID partition format if you want APFS formatting. For HFS+, choose "Mac OS extended with journaling enabled, GUID partition format".
9. Once the drive is erased, quit Disk Utility and re-open CCC (or SD).
10. Now, RE-clone the contents of the cloned backup BACK TO the internal drive.
11. When done, disconnect the external cloned backup and reboot to the internal drive.
12. Done.
