How to re-firmlink Macintosh HD & Macintosh HD - Data drives into one.

I recently backed up, installed Catalina, and decided to go back to Mojave for now. That was an ordeal, but I got it all working again. The only thing different is now I can see the previously hidden Data drive on my desktop and I'd like to hide it. I believe Apple calls it firmlink, to make two drives appear as one. I can't seem to find out how to re-firmlink them? Any suggestions? Thanks.

You need to erase/format the parent drive to start over when you revert from Catalina.


From Internet Recovery>Disk Utility>View>Show All Device> select the Parent drive
