How can I remove this partition?
I recently tried installing windows through Boot Camp but gave up a little ways through after seeing how much space it was going to take up. I never got to finish setting up windows but I did get it to the point where it asked me which drive I wanted it on . When I restarted my computer I went to bootcamp to remove the windows partition and got the message:
It seems 2 new partitions were made along with the new windows one: Windows Recovery (472 MB), Windows Reserved (16.8 MB)
I have tried:
1. Going to disk utility and simply removing the second partition. The "-" is grayed out when I select the new partition and there is a message underneath the partition information saying "You can not remove this volume because the previous volume can not be resized."
2. Erasing the volume in recovery mode. I erased it and reformatted it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but still couldn't remove it through disk utility after restarting.
How can I go back to having one single volume? I am open to any options (including resetting everything on my macbook to factory settings if it will return it to a single volume). I do have Time Machine setup with recent backups of my drive. Thank you!!
