Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi,
I just want to have ONE big partition on my MacBook. I did have BootCamp but in some way it got changed/transformed into another kind of partition. BUT sadly the delete button - is greyed out.
Just give me please instructions on how to merge the 86GB partition with my main partition (MacOS).
Thanks in advance.
