Deleted Windows but Macintosh HD's volume reduced I just deleted Windows on my iMac through Boot Camp but the Macintosh HD's volume was reduced and there is a new partition (Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - Data). From 1 TB to 400 GB. I tried to use First Aid option, restarted my iMac but nothing has changed. Any ideas?

Deleted bootcamp partition still taking up space on 2015 iMac so a couple days ago i made a bootcamp partition that was 48 gigs because i was wanting to see how it worked. I then deleted the partition to make a bigger one with 220 gigs. when i made the one with 220 gigs, a problem occurred and i had to restart. the problem was that when i deleted that partition, it did not free up the space on my disk and when i go into disk utility, there is nothing but my disk and my disk data. I freed up some space on my computer and then made another partition to try to override the ghost partition and the same problem occurred. now i have literally half my computers disk storage. please help. thanks.

Oke thanks.

Now what should I do? Install in recovery mode (command+r) or internet recovery mode (command+option+r) or anything else?

Download Disk Maker X and CAREFULLY follow instructions. Then reboot holding OPT key and choose the newly created boot key for installing HS.

Reboot from key. Go to Disk Utility and ERASE the destination disk. Close Disk Utility and install.
