Hey there, friends. The issue is clear—I split my 500GB SSD in half to run Windows on the other side. I got a new Windows laptop and no longer need Windows on my Mac. I tried deleting Bootcamp, but I’m not sure how to merge it back. On Windows it’s much simpler. Also, I’m using OSX HIGH Sierra. Need some guidance.

Hello, Have you installed Windows using Bootcamp? Or are you able to open Disk Utility during recovery mode (press Command+R at startup)?

When you chose bootcamp, it handled it automatically; otherwise, you must erase the entire drive and begin anew.

Also it's a good idea to back up your files regularly when using high Sierra. The Apple file system is still developing. If you're unsure about formatting your drive, avoid using the beta version of macOS. In case of issues, press command + r during startup and reinstall the system.
