How to allocate free disk space, when disk utility doesnt see it?

So i have had Bootcamp installed on my macbook, after a while i decided to delete it. While deleting it via the bootcamp assistant on mac os a small glitch happened and after my mac restarted, the disk space was not allocated to my mac os partition. I went to see in disk utility if i could fix that, but disk utility doesnt see the partition. (Look at the screenshots).


Although if I run "diskutil list" in terminal you can see the disk space called "free space", and it has no identifier.


If you look at the screenshots I have 2 disk partitions, one with 200gb, and the main mac os 500gb.


Please tell me how i can allocate the missing 300 gb to a disk and fix this problem.

Hello danil10,


Steps to manage your partition can be found in the following user guide:



"Delete a partition


WARNING: When you delete a partition, all the data on it is erased. Be sure to back up your data before you begin.

  1. In the Disk Utility app  on your Mac, select a volume in the sidebar, then click the Partition button in the toolbar.
  2. If Disk Utility isn’t open, click the Launchpad icon  in the Dock, type Disk Utility in the Search field, then click the Disk Utility icon .
  3. In the Apple File System Space Sharing dialog, click Partition.
  4. In the pie chart, click the partition you want to delete, then click the Delete button .
  5. If the Delete button is dimmed, you can’t delete the selected partition.
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Read the information in the Partition Device dialog, then click Partition.
  8. After the operation finishes, click Done."
