Bootcamp crashes during partition

Question

So I&#x27;m currently trying to install bootcamp onto my MacBook Pro. At first, it was going well, but during the partition it crashed, and the whole system rebooted itself. When I tried again bootcamp, it says that I don&#x27;t have enough space. I did have about 55GB of free space, but now I only have about 22GB free space. So how do I find the location to remove the folder/files? And what is caused the bootcamp to crash?

1. You can check Applications -&gt; Utilities -&gt; Console logs to look for information regarding the crash.2. On Yosemite, a CoreStorage volume is used and a partial partition event will leave some disk space &#x27;stranded&#x27;. Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?diskutil listdiskutil cs listsudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0sudo fdisk /dev/disk0The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.
