Hi apple_user122,


If you deleted the APFS volume(s) inside the APFS container, but not the container itself, you can add a new volume to the container by selecting the container and clicking the (+) button. Name the new volume "Macintosh HD", and choose APFS as the format.


Be sure to delete all other volumes from the container first, to ensure that no previous data is left behind.
