I am trying to partition Mac for running window on bootcamp but just found that i can only partition 65GB out of 500 GB. It said the minimum size of Macintosh HD disk is 404GB but my disk only use 200GB right now. How can this be fix pls help!
and i try to delete the purgeable things by varies way on the internet but it still exist but i think this is not the cause

Disk Utility resizing depends on the top-end of your drive being clear of files.
If you have a Utility that writes stuff near the end of the partition by design, or if the drive was much closer to full at some point in the past, you may not be able to truncate the end of the drive (because a files is there). Disk Utility will not move files to make space.
You appear to be attempting this while using the completely useless Volume View in Disk Utility.
To make progress, you need to choose Device View from the tiny pop-up menu at the upper right, and operate on the immutable device Hardware-name, not on the MacOS Volume:
This operation should be done from inside Boot Camp, otherwise you may have to undo and re-do it later.
Thankyou for helping me but the problem are still the same it still said the minimum size i can decrease the Mac partition is 404 GB. In the bootcamp it it give me a slidebar which also can slide to max at 65 GB for window partition. I wonder what is the problem of my Mac
That is the case are there any way to fix it ?.I thought i have once used up to 400GB of my disk so maybe there are some files at the end of my drive. I also once install window 8.1 with 150GB partition but erase it for making room when it have to edit large video project.
There are some third-party Utilities that claim to "optimize" your drive. As a side effect, these will generally (but not guaranteed) also consolidate free space into one big block at the end of the drive.
The "approved method" for doing this would be to be certain you had TWO Backups, ERASE the drive, then restore from backups.
