Bootcamp fail resulting in lack of storage space

Hey! I recentyl tried to partion my mac to have access to windows 10. Half way through however I got a failed attempt. Which was fine, but when I tried again it said I didnt have enough storage. I checked and it turns out I went from originally having a max of 251GB and about 138GB of space to having a max of 102GB with only about 15GB of space.


terminal command: diskutil list

terminal output:


/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

I don't use BootCamp or Windows, but try to use BootCamp Assistant to reclaim the space utilized by those Windows partitions. If that fails, then you will most likely need to erase the whole physical SSD in order to reinstall macOS & restore from a backup....then try using BootCamp Assistant to install Windows again.


If you don't already have a backup, then make one now while you still can since modifying partitions is always a risky endeavor.
