Can't remove Free Space after deleting Windows via Boot Camp
I deleted Windows partition via Boot Camp. Now there is a Free Space on my disk which can't be removed nor allocated to macOS Partition with an error -69716.
What I've tried:
First Aid and removing Free Space Partition both failed.
In Terminal my output after command diskutil list is:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 300.0 GB disk0s2
(free space) 200.1 GB -
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +300.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 15.4 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Snapshot com.apple.os.update-... 15.4 GB disk1s1s1
3: APFS Volume Preboot 477.9 MB disk1s2
4: APFS Volume Recovery 1.1 GB disk1s3
5: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4
6: APFS Volume Macintosh HD – data 223.7 GB disk1s5
So I've tried this: Can't Remove Free Space partition in Disk… - Apple Community
- Boot into Local Recovery and temporarily disable SIP
- Boot into Internet Recovery
- Run diskutil list internal and find the APFS container. The disk should be named diskN with the number N
- Run
- diskutil unmountDisk diskN
- fsck_apfs -s -o -y /dev/rdiskN
but unfortunately the last step was unsuccessful, I got another error message:
failed to enable crypto I/O mode for container /dev/rdiskN
After this I was not able to find any more solutions. If you please have any suggestions how I can fix this "Free Space", I will be glad to hear from you.
Thank you.
