How to recover 70GB I lost after removing Windows 10

I had a Windows 10 install in a partition of 70GB. I removed it through boot camp assistant but now I have list the 70GB, how can I restore it?


My disk is 500GB but the space in macOS is listed as 430GB so the 70GB is lost, as you can see here:

This is the output from diskutil list




The Microsoft Basic Data GPU 30.4 MB  disk0s3 is a small bootable disk because I am trying to get an eGPU working. FYI.


Some other output from commands I've seen requested:


diskutil cs list

No CoreStorage logical volume groups found


sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0


And here's how my storage info looks for good measure:

And my device:



I will try to provide any info more that is needed. I am forever grateful if someone can help me deal with this.

On a whim I decided to delete my tiny "GPU" partition of 30mb, this seems to have had the side effect to resize the macOS partition properly back to the full 500GB! Well almost, it says 499.96 but I guess, close enough..
