Error erasing bootcamp partition

When I click the '-' sign below for bootcamp, this message pops up and I can't erase it.


It's already formatted to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled). But I still can't erase it.

And bootcamp assistant isn't helping. I can't click the 'Install or Remove Windows 7 or later version' either. Someone please help. I just want to get rid of bootcamp >.<

Hi sas0430,

I understand you are trying to uninstall the Windows Bootcamp partition from your Mac The resource below will provide the steps to do that.

Set up a Windows partition on your Mac

Modify the Windows partition

Remove the partition, change its size, or change its name.

Remove the partition

Use Boot Camp Assistant to safely remove Windows and the Windows partition from your Mac, restoring your startup drive to a single Mac partition. You may want to back up your information first, because removing the partition erases all of the data it contains.

  1. Open Boot Camp Assistant.
  2. Select “Remove Windows 7 or later version," then click Continue.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If your Mac has a single internal disk, click Restore.
    • If your Mac has multiple internal disks, select the Windows disk, select “Restore disk to a single OS X partition,” then click Continue.

Change the size of the partition

It's not possible to change the size of the partition after installing Windows, but you can remove the partition and create a new partition of the correct size. Don't try to resize your partition with Windows or a third-party app.

Change the name of the partition

You can rename the Windows partition from within Windows. For instructions, refer to your Windows documentation.
