Hi,

My SSD disk on a 2014 Macbook Pro has all kind of issues after I tried to upgrade to High Sierra.

My disk got changed to APFS Encrypted

1) Unable to repair any levels of the disk.

2) Unable to erase og delete any levels of the disk.

3)Unable to repair any levels of the disk with diskUtil in the terminal

4)Unable to delete any levels of the disk with diskUtil in the terminal

I have run out of ideas, can anyone help me?

Best regards

Tried this

1) If the Partition is active I gent an error "Unable to deactivate"

2) If the Partition is deactivated I get an error

3) If the Partition is active, I am unable to activate it.

4) I try "diskutil apfs deleteContainer disk0s2" but this stops at 20% and just continue spinning, not getting any progress.

[ / 0%..10%..20%......................................................]

Best

Try booting into Recovery HD, hold down the option key when you reboot, or command-r when you hear the chime.

Then run Disk Utility from Recovery mode, to see if you can repair the disk.
