MacBook Pro M1 disk images issue after a fresh install. Please help.

Yesterday I went through **** with my 1 hour old MacBook Pro 13 M1, 2TB HD, 16 GB RAM. Thanks to Apple support I was able to restore the computer via Apple Configurator 2.


Now everything seems to be working fine but when I go into my Disk Utilities I am seeing a lot of disks or images or partitions. All I need is to see one, called Ocean (equivalent to Macintosh HD)


Can I fix this without going through a fresh install again?



Thank you very much!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

You have one extra "Macintosh HD -Data" volume you can use the +/- option to remove it. (you have renamed ocean.)


Two Macintosh HD - Data

from Disk Utility.app you can see the mount point


One will be mounted at /System/Volumes/Data this is the one you want to keep,

The other will be mounted at /Volumes and you can simply use the “ -“ to delete it.

Big Sur uses a snapshot of the current system for its Signed System Volume, as you see in the list. This is the new normal as well. This would be the 'Macintosh HD'
