Boot Camp not enough space when there is

  • mid 2011 MBA with 128GB drive
  • High Sierra 10.13.4
  • 45GB used 74GB free
  • APFS volume


I am trying to install W7 but BCA reports there is not enough space on my drive. I have tried First Aid and restarted to no avail. The Erase option is blanked out. When trying to add a partition it says there is only 18GB available which is untitled.


What are my next options to try and get BCA to use the free space available?


Many thanks.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), null

i did it, installed the latest version, by using my friend's windows laptop to make the bootable usb and and then used it with bootcamp. no issues faced with drivers etc but only problem is i can't use the option "startup disk" in either OS, it can't detect one another. i have to manually press and hold alt to select the OS i want to run, everytime, otherwise it restarts to macos automatically. thats the only solution for now.

The CCC snapshots should not interfere with the Bootcamp, unless they occupy unreasonable amount of space. The only snapshots you should be deleting should be com.apple.time_machine.* . Deleting the CCC snapshots will just bring them back, so it is unnecessary.
