Unable to remove Windows Partition on Bootcamp
I have a problem with removing the windows partition on bootcamp.
Using diskutil list
, this was the result:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 184.0 GB disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 66.2 GB disk0s3
4: Windows Recovery 543.2 MB disk0s4
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +184.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 119.9 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 44.0 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 517.0 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4
I want to know the safest way to remove the Windows Partition because I am really confused on what all of this means.
There are two ways.
Option 1 (recommended):
Go to Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities
folder. Then click continue until you see this window:
Select "Remove Windows 10 or later version", and click continue. Follow all the steps, and it should remove it.
Option 2:
Open up Disk Utility
, which is in your Utilities
folder in Applications
. Then, as shown in the image below, click the top left button and click Show All Devices
.
Once you have done that, you should see something like this:
Click on the -
sign when the windows partition is selected and click Delete
.
After the process finishes, the Windows partition should be removed.
