2 Macintosh HD

I upgraded form Mojave to Monterey. Several hours later, somehow a second Macintosh HD is mounted. It's not the Macintosh Data volume, simply a second Macintosh volume.


The Volume mounted first appears to be the main volume. The second volume only has about 15GB of data.


Is it safe to delete the volume mounted second with 15GB of data.


See Link to screenshot below showing the second volume does not say Data.

I can refine the screenshot if needed.

It would be better if you could just post it here. Use the Image button in the toolbar.


It does appear you have managed to create two Macintosh HD volumes. Since the snapshot is made from disk2s7, that would be the actual system volume. It may be as simple as selecting the unused one and removing it in Disk Utility. It will be the one that does not have the snapshot under it.
