Unable to remove Bootcamp partition from Mac OS X El Capitan
Yes, I know this question has been asked many, many times. I promise I have tried everything all of the solutions that I could find. I'm running OC X El Capitan on a MacBook Air.
My latest attempt was to delete my Bootcamp partition with diskutil in Terminal. Output from diskutil list:
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh HD 199.4 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.1 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Reserved 134.2 MB disk0s4
5: Apple_HFS DELETEME 50.5 GB disk0s5
/dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):

Logical Volume on disk0s2

Unlocked Encrypted
But then the minus sign was grayed out in Disk Utility when I went to finally delete it and merge my harddrive back together.
So I tried to merge Bootcamp with my Apple core storage using diskutil and I got a message that 'the chosen disk does not support resizing.'
The chosen disk does not support resizing.
Do you wish to format instead? (y/N)
I am at a loss. I have tried everything.
