Bootcamp can't remove partition after failed bootcamp.

I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2016, running macOS High Sierra.


I have previously bootcamped my macbook with no issues, except due to storage issues, deleted the bootcamp partition in order to allocate more storage. Everything was going normal until once installing the Windows ISO, it said "please wait while boot camp is removing the partitions it created" It took over an hour until I closed it and realised I couldnt delete the BOOTCAMP disk, before I tried messing around with it (i know i shouldnt have).


Now I still am not able to delete the partition but it is no longer BOOTCAMP, as I erased it and try to restore to no avail.


my diskutil list is:
