SSD not showing real size

Hi all,


searched everywhere but found no working solution yet.


Bought a second hand macbook which had a windows partition as well .

Did a fresh install and formatted the ssd to APFS , but the container disk is only 958,38 GB of the 1TB ssd.


I then did the following :

in terminal removed the old windows partition (think it was called disk0s3)


Then I wanted to grow my main disk by the following command :

diskutil ap resizecontainer disk0s2 0


unfortunately I get this error :

Started APFS operation

Error: -69743: The new size must be different than the existing size



My Mac keeps thinking 958,38 is the maximum possible size.


I also tried this in internet recovery, same result..


is there anyone who could help me rebuild the size without needing to clone my HD .User uploaded fileUser uploaded file
