It sounds like you used Disk Utility to remove BOOTCAMP. That's not recommended- you should never use anything except Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition. Please open Terminal, and post the results of the following command-

diskutil list

Additionally, what happens when you open Boot Camp Assistant?

I see- do you have a backup? If not, make one. The easiest way to fix this is to reformat your disk and restore from a backup, which will fix any messed-up partitions.

First, make a backup - Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support

Then, erase your Mac with these instructions - Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac - Apple Support

Lastly, restore it from a backup with these - Restore your Mac from a backup - Apple Support

After doing all that, you should be set.

To be clear- it shows the below screen, which then changes to the one below it upon pressing "Continue"?
