I heard that some were able to solve this by deleting their time machine snapshots but not me. When I run the tmutil no snapshots are displayed.
Would appreciate the help.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14), MBP 15" Mid 2015
We may need to bypass BC Assistant. Mojave is too buggy in this area.
Do you have access to a Windows PC? If yes, create a USB2 Flash drive installer from Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File). Manually partition the disk and create a FAT32 partition of the size you want Windows to be. You will need to convert it to Free Space. Boot from the USB and select the partition you just created as the destination.

Since this works, the issue is related to BC Assistant on Mojave and it's interaction with the APFS file system. This issue originated in High Sierra. Use DU to remove this partition of 59GB and ensure that you get you disk space back in the main macOS partition.
The 20GB for Bootcamp is too small. Can you delete the 20GB partitions it and create a new partition of 100GB and test?
Disconnect all external storage, run a SMC and NVRAM Reset and retry BCA. Post back any errors.
From Terminal, post the output of
sudo fsck_apfs -n -l /dev/rdisk1
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
from macOS Terminal? We can use a eraseVolume command to make it free space.
As a test, create a FAT partition of the size you want Windows to be and report any errors.
Ignore the Storage overview, it is not very reliable. Use the Disk Utility view and use Format as FAT. Name the Partition BOOTCAMP, to be able to distinguish it from others.
Can you check for any local snapshots?
Run
sudo tmutil listlocalsnapshots /
Try to install BC drivers as described in If Windows Support Software isn't installed after you run Boot Camp Assistant - Apple Support .
See Disk Utility for macOS Sierra: Partition a physical disk using Disk Utility .
Since you are on High Sierra, you want to create a partition, not a new APFS Container. See File system formats available in Disk Utility on Mac - Apple Support as a reference.

I finally installed windows 10 bootcamp. Working fine except...
The trouble is that my wifi is not being detected.
I go to devicemanager and there is a yellow triangle next to "network adapter". I don't see any broadcom entry there. I tried to uninstall the network adapter and then scan for changes to fix it as I read somewhere, but that's not fixed it either.
what should I do?
would you mind telling me exactly how to do it? I'm a noob at all this.
Bootcamp manager not enough space error. No time machine snapshots to delete either in terminal
