iMac retrieve old linux partition after dual boot removal
On my iMac I installed a dual boot with Linux Mint. However, I realized that the videos were freezing some times, so I deleted the Linux partition. Now, the Mac is working normally, but instead of having a partition of 1 TB, I just have a 800GB's total space on my Hard Disk.
How can I do to retrieve the 200GB of space that were on the Linux partition I deleted?
Below is the output from diskutil list
.
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 800.0 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_HFS Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF 1.0 MB disk0s4
Solution 1:
Generally, the commands below should work.
sudo diskutil erasevolume free none disk0s4
sudo diskutil resizevolume disk0s2 R
