Question

Bootcamp doesn‘t appear anymore and can‘t be deleted

Dear community

I had a windows bootcamp installed on my macbook but lately it doesn‘t show up anymore. I didn‘t delete it but neither does it show up in the disk utility nor in the terminal using the „diskutil list“ command. I would like to delete the bootcamp in order to get the „lost“ space back. Thank you in advance for any help and hints!

diskutil list

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *121.3 GB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 80.4 GB disk0s2

3: Apple_KernelCoreDump 655.4 MB disk0s3

/dev/disk1 (synthesized):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: APFS Container Scheme - +80.4 GB disk1

Physical Store disk0s2

1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 13.4 GB disk1s1

You should not have the ‘KernelCoreDump’ partition on a public macOS release. If you are on a public release, then this can be deleted. Run

diskutil eraseVolume free free disk0s3

diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk1 0g

diskutil list

and post the output.

Unfortunately, i have not spent enough care reading your response, i’m sorry! I closed the terminal window and haven‘t found a way to restore the output of the first two commands. Is there any way or have i failed you? :|
