Bootcamp Deletion

Originally I attempted to delete bootcamp from my MBP and it wouldn't erase from the disk. I am having trouble deciphering terminal because of inexperience and wanting to merge the partitions seems to be different for everyone. Just need a bit of assistance

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

You are using the incorrect UUIDs.


UUID starting with

  • 6E095EBC-... belongs to Sealed Snapshot volume - do not touch this.
  • 982A36EA-... belongs to the correct the Container we want to delete.


Can you post a text version of


diskutil apfs list


so I can copy the exact values? Also, each diskutil apfs command is its own full command to be entered on a single line and then you press Enter/Return.
