Diskutitlity how to enlarge APFS Partition

Hello,

i have a 2013 13" MacBook Pro with an 128GB SSD and MacOS Mojave10.14.5. I've managed to delete a partition, in order to get more free space to my files disk(Macintosh HDD 2 Daten). The problem is that my APFS Container still only shows the 75GB like before. If I go the partition menu it won't show free space to claim. If I go terminal (diskutil list) it will show that the 128GB is only split to one disk with 75GB but I can't claim the other 55GB.

diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 0

gives just the comment: The new size must be different than the existing size

I've heard that 0 means the maximum Space

Can anyone help me to get the other 55GB? Or have an Idea what might be the solution?

Thanks a lot!

What does the following Terminal command show:

sudo gpt show disk0

You will need to type in your password (it won't echo). Do a "man gpt" if you want to see all the options -- be very careful with this command, as you can corrupt a disk if used improperly (not with the "-show" option but with other options that change the partition table).

Good luck...

The command as you have it written is incomplete.

You can try:

diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 0g
