bootcamp partition failed and stalled on restore

diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC1 disk0s3

diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ BCMP disk0s3 disk0s4
diskutil list

If you only see disk0s3 as the last entry under disk0, then run

diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3

and now run BC Assistant and try to Remove/Restore.

Do not use W10 1809 (October), use W10 1803 (April) release instead.
