Lost space after uninstalling the Bootcamp

I was removing bootcamp using the built-in app Bootcamp support. During the uninstall, it just crashed my mac and nothing was doable (about 40 mintues). So I turn off the mac and was able to boot fortunately. But I lost alost 50GB which was occupied by the Bootcamp. I tried to partition the 256GB SSD, but the disk utility app says there is "free space" which is preoccupied.


I tried to find solutions with my own, but it seems the commands needed are different in different circumstance. This is the result of 'diskutil list' when I boot the mac. In case you need 'diskutil list' on the recovery mode, then I'll post it. Great thanks for any help.


By the way, it is totally okay to lose all the data. I'm using High Sierra 10.13.6.

I actaully went to the recovery mode and did both 'gpt ...' and 'diskutil list' there (because they look different).


The result of 'gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0':

gpt show: /dev/disk0: mediasize=251000193024; sectorsize=512; blocks=490234752

gpt show: /dev/disk0: PMBR at sector 0
