Lost space on macbook air 2020 512 gb ssd

Hello!


I have lost some space on my MacBook Air 2020 (512 GB SSD)


I ran Boot Camp Assistant and installed Windows some time ago. I only had 110 GB or so for Windows which was not enough. I got curious and boot my MacBook in macOS for the first time in months and ran the Disk Utility to reveal there were 2 BOOTCAMP partitions. One was 110 GB or so with another being around 220 GB. It seems as though I created two BOOTCAMP partitions. I have tried to no avail to reclaim the space.


Don't ask me what I did but I ran some commands and managed to delete the second BOOTCAMP partition but cannot reclaim the space.


What I am after is to have the maximum amount of space for my Windows partition and remove any unnecessary partitions I have created, hopefully without having to reinstall Windows. I don't know why I have 5 volume counts and "4 child mounts". I am very uneducated in this area. I honestly have no clue about Apple and Mac so please go easy on me.


I have included a screenshot of my diskutil list from the Terminal command.


Please advise if anything further is required to assist.


MacBook Air (2020 or later)
