Hi people.
I'm unable to reclaim free space after bootcamp uninstall, it failed and asked to run first aid in disk utility, but failed again, then I tried manually, to no avail.
Using iMac 2017 with macOS 13 Ventura.
Please help, and thanks in advance.

Did you use Disk Utility to remove the partition or Boot Camp Assistant? The easiest way to fix this is to back up your Mac with Time Machine, then erase it and restore from the backup.
I did with Boot Camp Assitant.
I'll try this method with Time Machine, thanks!
Ok, I just saw the procedure to do a restore, but it says right in the beginning:
"If you need to reinstall macOS, do that before continuing. For example, if your Mac starts up to a flashing question mark, you need to first reinstall macOS."
I didn't get it, after erasing the contents with Disk Utility (the second procedure you mentioned), and starting this third one, do I need to reinstall macOS first, or just proceed directly to the Time Machine restore?
If you didn’t reinstall macOS at the end of Step 2, you will have to now. If your Mac starts up to the question mark symbol, you definitely will have to, as seen in the instructions. Then, you can boot in and open Migration Assistant.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
