Not all of my drive is available after removing my Bootcamp partition.

After buying a brand new 2018 MBP, I tried setting up a partition to use windows but it wouldn't work, so I decided to scratch the idea and remove the partition. After I did this I looked at my storage in About This Mac and it says my 256 gb MacBook Pro is only 190 gb.

The missing storage is about equal to the size of the partition I created then removed.

When I go into disk utility, it only shows only the Macintosh HD partition under the container disk1 and no other partition taking the storage.

For some reason container disk1 was added and it only shows 190 gb shared by 4 volumes.

I tried first aid on each one and it didn't help.

I probably did something wrong when removing the partition but I'm not sure what. If anyone has a solution, preferably not wiping, as I don't have a backup or an external drive to back up onto, that would be helpful... Thanks

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Boot into Internet Recovery, click on Utilities -> Terminal, and run


diskutil list


and check the disk number for your internal disk. I will assume it is disk0, but it may not be. Substitute the correct number in the following commands.


gpt add -i 3 -b 46463744 -s 14815595 -t windows /dev/disk0

diskutil repairDisk disk0


If you do not see any error messages, boot normally, run BC Assistant and click on Restore/Remove.


Do not use Disk Utility to remove this partition.
