So i try to remove Bootcamp through boot camp assistant. But it did not work, it was not able to remove Bootcamp it said. so it told me to check disk utility. I ran first aid option and nothing seemed to be wrong. But I can not choose boot camp anymore? It has disappeared. And it's just that I have 400 GB of space, but I have 1000gb fusion drive storage. would really appreciate some help. iMac 5k if somebody is wondering.

The gap after GPT3 is the 'stuck' disk space.
We need to temporarily disable SIP. Boot into Local Recovery using Command+R after your restart your Mac. Click on Utilities -> Terminal and run
csrutil status
csrutil disable
csrutil status
If it shows disabled, we then create a 'fake' GPT entry for the Free Space as
sudo gdisk /dev/disk1
x (Expert menu)
l (set sector alignment using "L" to...)
1 (one sector)
m (Main menu)
n (New)
4 (GPT4)
775804928 (Start)
+1177720207 (Size, notice the "+" sign)
0700 (Microsoft Basic Data)
p (Print)
w (Write)
y (Confirm write)
q (Quit Gdisk, if necessary)
Once you complete this, from Terminal, run
diskutil repairDisk disk0
and reboot again.

i can't see windows in startup disk
I don't follow. maybe I'm stupid . could you please try to explain more detailed. sorry for bothering you I really do appreciate your help
Can you use Bootcamp Assistant and 'lost' disk space as a reference and check which of the two issues are applicable to you?
You have the same issue as Lost space after removing Boot Camp partition . Can you use it as a reference to create a fake GPT and then remove it using BC Assistant?
Please post the output of
diskutil list
You seem to have the problem as noted in Item 2 of the link I provided.
Can you post the output of
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1
I can provide exact steps. You will need to install GPT fdisk download | SourceForge.net .
I can not thank you enough. it finally works . Thank you a hundred times. one last question, do i need to enable csrutil status again ?
Yes, you should re-enable SIP using
csrutil enable
Also, please back up macOS, before you make another attempt to install Windows.
