Q: Missing disk space

Hello,

My mac had restarted by it own when I am trying to install window 8.1, after downloading the files required by bootcamp, the error said Mac has restarted. I try to reinstall again but i find my disk free space is only 20GB, and I have 128GB Disk, which now show 80GB on disk utility. Is there any possible way to get the lost disk space on my mac?

Currently I am using Macbook Pro 13" late 2015 128 model

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null

I don't want to free up the disk space, but the disk space it's self is missing
this is what i am facing right now, instead of 121 GB on disk it show only 80 GB.

That's because Boot Camp Assistant partitioned the drive and allocated the space to the Widows partition. Run the Boot Camp assistant again to remove the Windows partition.
