I partitioned my harddrive in the past with bootcamp but now i get this error
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition"
when i run bootcamp assistant again.
Please help!

In your specific case, given the current state, try
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC1 disk0s3
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC2 disk0s4
diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ BCMP disk0s3 disk0s4
diskutil list
If you see only disk0s3 as the last entry under disk0, then run
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3
and retry removing the partition using BC Assistant only.

From macOS Terminal, post the output of
diskutil list
You can ignore the error with disk0s4. Please run Step 2.
Solved! Thank you!
