My Macbook works well, but there is only the Macintosh HD and not the Macintosh HD - Data anymore. I am sure it was there when I installed Big Sur.

Disappeared how? What did you do?


Are you saying you have no user?


Do you have a backup?


What is Simo's My Cloud ? is This your Macintosh HD - Data did it get renamed or is this external?



A better command to run to keep the confusion down, and for clarity:

diskutil list internal

I Thought it could be the issue, I did not want it to be true! 115 GB is the external, lots of pictures in my My Cloud Home by WD. :-(


Thanks yes I see now you did clarify "MyCloud is an external drive." above.


I would restore from Backup prior to CleanMyMac.
