Removed Boot Camp but cannot recover partition space

You can resize the space not inside Macintosh Hd by resizing it firstly you will need to open disk utility by going to: Applications > Utilities > open Disk Utility then resize the partision by going to Macintosh Hd pressing the partition button at the top then resizing it the smallest you can do it is 0.0613 Gb.

After doing it restart your computer otherwise you will think you've ruined it but you havent. I've done this and it works i'd recommend trying it.

You are posting on a ~3 year old discussion. 😉

High Sierra uses a pie chart partition map. I have a 1tb hd but only 697gb available. The rest is shaded out and any attempt to create a new partition fails. Any suggestions please.

Please start a new discussion. This discussion has too many variants to be helpful to anyone.

It looks like Boot Camp Assistant failed resizing the OS X partition, and that could damage the OS X filesystem.

This is a "common" problem and it can be fixed without wiping your hard drive. You just need to start up in OS X Recovery (hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up). After starting into OS X Recovery, open Disk Utility in the OS X Utilities window.

Now, choose your OS X partition in the sidebar (if you have not changed anything, it shows up as "Macintosh HD") and press "Repair Disk". Let the process finish.

Now your OS X filesystem should be repaired, so what you have to do is to resize your OS X partition to use all the hard disk space. To do it, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/**4.html

When you have finished, close Disk Utility and go to  > Restart

You can try resizing the amount of space that is not in the mac os space by going to: Applications > Utilities >open Disk utility and under macintosh hd click partition at the top then resize it to be smaller.

I did this myself you will have 0.0613 Gb left in the partition you just resized but you will have pretty much all your space put back into macintosh hd except the 0.0613 Gb that was left.

Although this reply is a little late, I had the same issue recently. Using disk utility, I deleted the parition once occuipied with Bootcamp and resized the whole partition by dragging the resize control. I hope this helps others facing similar problems.

this has not worked for me and i still have the problem..

mavericks 10.9.1

Did you start in Recovery mode? and why is your copy of Mavericks 2 versions out of date

sorry my bad 10.9.3

i did start in recovery mode (command R?) but it did not fix the issue

Then you will need to erase the disk and reinstall from scratch so you will need to make a backup before you start.

I ran into a similar issue while using a 2nd partition to beta test OSX Yosemite. After deleting the partition, I was unable to resize the primary startup partition to occupy all the free space.

After hours of trying different methods, I discovered my problem. FileVault was turned on for my primary partition. This prevented DiskUtility from re-sizing and making new partitions.

I disabled it in System Preferences>Security & Privacy>FileVault

Once turned off, I rebooted. Then tried to re-size my partition. The partition was able to be re-sized without any issues. I am back to utilizing all the space on my hard drive.

Hope this helps for anyone else who may be running into the same problems and don't want to format their drive and start from scratch.

Seems a good solution. I am turning off the fire vault tight now

Going to try turning off File Vault as well...
