You will need to use Disk Utility to erase the whole physical drive (Intel Macs only) as GUID partition and APFS (top option). Within Disk Utility you may need to click "View" and select "Show All Devices" before the physical drive appears on the left pane of Disk Utility. Of course this will destroy all data on the drive.


You will need to boot into Internet Recovery Mode using Command + Option + R to access the online macOS installer.

if you allowed any Windows-native utilities to 'format and erase' your Bootcamp partition, it is known to over-write the Apple Partition map in the process, effectively eliminating your Mac volume. There is no known way to recover your Mac partition when this happens.


Access the Boot Camp Volume ONLY with Bootcamp, NEVER with Windows-native utilities. Windows is Not pleasant guest.
