Regain Space after Deleting Windows

I just deleted Windows from my MacBook Pro using the Bootcamp Assistant. My computer still says I have only 200 GB of total storage when I should have 250 (the Windows partition was 50 GB). Is there any way to fix this without reformatting the entire drive and reinstalling macOS?

Thanks!

Why do my mac has 70GB space missing after removing windows with bootcamp? I installed kali linux on my mac recently(dual booting with mac os). As my mac has only 256GB ssd and running low on storage , I decided to get rid of the windows. Simply, I just used the bootcamp again to remove windows to recover 70 GB space that I used for it. But now,even after removing windows, that 70GB didn't show up in disk utility. So I had to use the terminal to check list of disks and its just say free space of 70.7GB and no other information. So, how do I get this free space back in use? And I really don't want to lose my data. Is it possible to get it back in use without losing any data? Please Help. Thank you.

Lost space after deleting Boot Camp Hi everyone, I have a Macbook Pro late 2011running OSX High Sierra, today after removing the bootcamp using the disk utility I lost the space occupied by the Windows partition, I tried to merge this empty space with Macintosh HD using the disk utility but an error occurred during the process, I read some discussions here about typing the terminal inputs (diskutil list) and (diskutil cs list) but im getting different results, can someone please help me merge this space back to Macintosh HD?

You should have all your disk space, but you may run into an issue, due to the Overallocation error.
