4 Hard Disk volumes?
Hi. I am very new to macOS and using a Monterey I have the issue as shown in the screenshot.
I have 4 volumes that are called "No Title 2, 3, 4, 5" and don't know if I can delete them.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

Could I remove that volume and win back all that space?

"Other volumes" refers to any additional volumes that share the storage capacity of that drive device.
A typical macOS installation of Catalina or newer will have five or six volumes within a single container and sharing the total storage capacity of the drive. The APFS volumes are dynamic and may each use more or less space as required by the files that are stored within. The OS manages that without your help.
This is a peek at the internal drive on my Mac using the Terminal command diskutil list
Mine is a 1 TB drive with a single container, and within that container are the five APFS volumes that share the storage space.
If you remove your volume "MAC", then yes, you would recover whatever space is being used, but lose whatever files are stored there, so you'll want to check the contents in Finder to know if there's data that you want to keep.
If each of those untitled volumes has a similar Used capacity of ~770 KB, then it appears that they are empty and, yes, are candidates for deletion.
Please see: Add, delete, or erase APFS volumes in Disk Utility on Mac - Apple Support
me again with another (probably) stupid question.

Now I'm running macOS Monterey 12.7.3 installed with OCLP (MacBook 15" early 2011, i7, 16GB RAM, AMD GPU)
Could I remove that volume and win back all that space?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks. Done that and everything is fine. I did this with two of them first and rebooted to see if I didn't do any harm to the boot system.. being a complete noob in this :)
