How ro remove windows when I just reinstalled Mac OS

I just receive a 2015 macbook air from my sister. I reinstalled the mac OS (High Sierra)

I noticed there’s a bootcamp partition when reinstalling, I don’t do anything to the bootcamp partition. I thought I could remove it after reinstalling the Mac OS.

Now when I try to remove the windows and bootcamp partition from the Boot Camp Assistant, I receive this notification:

“The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows”

How do I remove the Windows and bootcamp partition?

PS: I’m new to the Mac OS. I previously only have Windows OS

If Boot Camp Assistant can't remove the partition, you'll need to do a full disk wipe to remove them all, then reinstall macOS. Do not use Disk Utility to remove only the Windows partition, as it won't give the space back.
