If you're only able to get to Windows, and if nothing is actually broken you can switch back to macOS normally in one of two ways:


  • Bring up the Boot Camp Support in your Windows system tray (near the clock) to see if you can select to startup with your Mac there.
  • Shut down the power and when you turn it back on hold down the OPTION key and see if your Macintosh HD shows up as an option.


Let me know if this is not the case.

If you want your disk space back, you will need a backup/erase/restore.


The following commands will delete the 626GB container, since it is not being used. I will put partial UUIDs, which you will need to complete.


diskutil apfs deleteVolume 1C704D5C-...

diskutil apfs deleteVolume BA83C0EE-...

diskutil apfs deleteContainer 990DEDCC-...


Please enter the ‘full’ UUIDs where you see ‘...’ . Once you have cleaned up, use Time Machine to backup/erase/restore your macOS installation, before we address the next issue.
