That means it cannot find the startup drive. Here is an article with things to try: If a flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support


You can also try an NVRAM reset: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support


Did you use Bootcamp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp partition?
