I get this error when I try to install Windows with Bootcamp:
"An error occurred while partitioning the disk. Please run Disk Utility to check and fix this error"
I read on the internet that this problem is often caused by the Time Machine, but I've never used it.
I really don't know how to fix this problem..
I have no other partition on my disk, tried an SOS on it but no errors were found..

When I try to partition the disk (MS-DOS FAT) I get this error

If instead I format it exFAT, it works.
Thank you for your reply, here is the output:

What is the current version of macOS on your Mac?
please check your hard drive file system...its compatibility issues...
Mac OS Mojave version 10.14
I've already checked, it's all right..
Run
sudo fsck_apfs -n -l /dev/rdisk1
and post the output.
What is the name of W10 ISO file? If you are using W10 1809, use W10 1803 instead.
I'm using 1809, I'll try with the 1803 and tell you whether it works or not.
It doesn't work anyway.. It shows the same error
As a test, can you create a FAT32 partition (not a volume) using Disk Utility. Make it the size that you want Windows to be.
Can you post the current state of the disk?
diskutil list
You should not have Apple Boot OS X, since you have a Recovery volume. BCA seems to have failed in the past and left this behind. Do you have a Time Machine backup of macOS?
I don't have a Time Machine backup, should I backup my Mac? Is there a way to fix this problem?
Bootcamp: your disk could not be partitioned
