Bootcamp "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" error.

Can you post a text copy of the same command using Posting Text Output in macOS Recovery Console? It is much easier to work with.

Please start a new discussion in Boot Camp. Your issue is no longer related to the discussion in this thread. Post the Terminal session in the new discussion for context.

This is the link

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8567747

Run

diskutl apfs deleteVolume D3F82CA7-D9EF-3092-BE57-2177000071DF

diskutil apfs deleteContainer 0180DD28-EBD6-4DF5-8025-9D602D7D5C3E

diskutil list

and post the output.

This is a bit more convoluted then OP. Can you start a new discussion, and post this output and the following additional command?

diskutil apfs list

I am having the same issue - running macOS High Sierra. I want to remove Windows 10. I was getting the same error message from Boot Camp Assistant, so I ran diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s4 from Terminal. I now show - Macintosh HD, BOOTCAMP, BOOTCAMP in diskutility. Macintosh HD 400GB APFS Volume APFS (Encrypted), BOOTCAMP 99.59 GB PCI Internal Physical Volume Windows NT File System (NTFS), BOOTCAMP 471.9 MB PCI Internal Physical Volume MS-DOS (FAT32). When I went back to Boot Camp Assistant however after running the diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s4 from Terminal, I am seeing the same error message as before.

Prior to running - in diskutility, I had Macintosh HD 400GB APFS Volume APFS (Encrypted), BOOTCAMP 99.59 GB PCI Internal Physical Volume Windows NT File System (NTFS), and a disk0s4 that was greyed out.

I ran that and now the "startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" error is gone, however when I click Continue from the BC Assistant I am automatically brought to "Install Windows" window that is prompting me to choose the Windows ISO file. I wasn't presented with an option to "Restore Disk to a Single Volume" like I've seen in other threads to complete the removal.

Can someone help me too ... i want to delet my W10 Bootcamp partition and also got the error that everyone here had.

This is what i got from the terminal:

Hi,

All I did was just a normal upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra. Before when I was using Sierra, I already have a partition for Bootcamp. I am assuming that the current partition structure reflects a normal upgrade result from Sierra->High Sierra (using APFS).

So far I tried opening bootcamp assistant and When I clicked continue, all i got was the error message about partition that everyone gets.

My SSD (256GB) has been divided into 3 partitions: "Macintosh HD" is for running High Sierra, "Data" is used just for normal storage, "Bootcamp" is used for running Windows 10 on Bootcamp.

I just want to remove the Bootcamp (Windows 10) partition and merge it into "Macintosh HD".

Thank you.

It's a long time since I installed Windows 10 but I remember that I had followed Bootcamp guideline to install.

At first, I divided my SSD into 2 partitions (Macintosh HD & Data) then I install Bootcamp and windows 10 via Bootcamp. I am NOT sure that Windows 10 partition was separated from Macintosh HD or Data.

So what I want to do now is increasing the size of Macintosh HD.

I'm very appreciated if you have any further advices.

Thank you.

Hi Loner,
