Lost space on hard drive after removing Bootcamp partition

I really hope someone can help with this.

I had a Windows partition which I removed before doing a clean reinstall of Mac OS.

I used the BootCamp assistant to remove the partition but someway it didn't complete and I thought I would get the space back after the clean reinstall. But now I can't partition again the hard drive and don't know how to solve this.

This is a screenshot of the Disk Utility tool, where you can see that the total capacity is 320,07 GB but under the blue bar, it shows that the total Macintosh HD partition is 238,37.

I have seen in other posts that it's useful to attach some info about disks and partition, so I'm adding those screenshots too.

If you do not see any repair issues, then boot normally from the internal disk, re-run BCA and try to remove/restore the partition.
