Mistake deleting Bootcamp, BootCamp now lost partition

Hi there


I wanted to resize my Macintosh partition and forgot that I need to delete Windows by Bootcamp. Instead, I just removed it in Disk Utility. Windows are now gone, but I cannot reclaim the 100G that were allocated to Bootcamp.


What is also weird is that I cannot see those 100G in diskutil . (the file Vault is turned off )

i'm also finding this the teared which is not worked for me : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8453248?answerId=33603637022#33603637022



/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):


   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER


   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk0


   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1


   2:          Apple_CoreStorage Untitled                200.4 GB   disk0s2


   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3

/dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):


   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER


   0:                  Apple_HFS MacintachHD            +200.0 GB   disk1


                                 Logical Volume on disk0s2


                                 AE18A1C5-F8DE-4752-B130-4814F70190C3


                                 Unencrypted


I tried the above also in the recovery mode and it showed a number .In the disk utility I see the missing 100G as "free space" but cannot remove it . I just get an error. Any ideas?


Thanks
