I have 2 HD- Data drives in disk utility (Big Sur), I know which is rogue one but can I delete it in disk utility without Going into recovery mode and without reinstalling Big Sur
You should be able to remove the volume in Disk Utility. No need for any other measures.
I updated Catalina to Big Sur and that’s what I get, an extra HD- Data which is encrypted and contains 60Gb. Haven’t a clue why.
How do I put it right?
Do I follow Apple procedure to reinstall and erase or delete the 2 HD-Data drives?
Thanks, that has solved my MacBook.
Can I do same on my iMac (1Tb Fusion Drive), difference being that rogue drive ( Volumes/ Macintosh HD) is encrypted and contains about 60Gb?
Where did that one cone from? It normally won’t duplicate the OS volume.
You didn’t say “- Data” in your previous post. You should make sure there is nothing stored on it that was not copied to the other - Data volume before you remove it.
I shouldn’t have any personal data on it worth keeping, so I can delete it in Disk Utility?
if so, thanks again for being very helpful.
