installing windows 10 pro on a MacBook pro 2014

When I first installed using bootcamp it had create a windows 10 or later install disk and download the latest windows support software boxes checked but install or remove windows 10 is greyed and I can’t check it. I went through bootcamp assistant trying to see if it would help I downloaded and saved to flashdrive the boot disk I told it where to find the iso and it saved to flash drive after it tells me to install support software. Why is that box greyed out? I have 161gb free.

I ran those they didn't seem to react. I found on bootcamp that its saying the startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned and that I must have 39 GB of free space available. I have looked up solutions 1 being delete and turn off time capsule and clear the time capsule hidden files. I did this. 2 was clear up files in about this mac storage. Any idea why I cant partition and install windows?

“This container cannot be split because the resulting containers would be to small.” I would show pics but it won’t let me for some reason.

It shows in disk utility I have 287.85 GB available and 479.48 used out of 500.07

I think it has to do with time capsule. I ran commands to delete time capsule snapshots and Im seeing that its just the same snapshots that are there when I check back with terminal they wont delete. Any idea?

Im using mojave, Ive found I can not run out of space I kept spamming myself and it still said I had a certain amount. I read finder is having issues and said to boot into safe mode, its hanging at the end and does not want to go into safe mode but eventually i can log in.

I just wanted to say thank you so much. Side note: I had forgot to mention I had ran those codes before but I think the difference was I deleted the time capsule folder before you had me do it again I think that made the difference but not sure. Yay it worked!
