How to partition free space in a Mac SSD
I have a Mac with a 250Go SSD. I used to have a Windows partition, but as I had no longer any use for it I wanted to free up its space.
My error was here : instead of using BootCamp helper to delete my Windows partition, I deleted the space in the Disk Utility app.
Now, I am in this situation when I open my Disk Utility:
So there are clearly 2 free spaces of 30Go each on the drive (which is weird since it says there are 251Go total, and if we sum up the 3 spaces here it gives something like 280 Go). Then I tried to partition the space like this :
Which gives me the following error:
Sorry for the French, basically it says that the starting util of the volumes I wanted to free up are mounted. So I went and tried with my terminal to find those spaces, but they are nowhere to be found :
diskutil list
/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_CoreStorage Macintosh HD 219.3 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD +219.0 GB disk1
Logical Volume on disk0s2
BB809D5E-5AC1-490E-8037-651B300154BD
Unencrypted
/dev/disk3 (disk image):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme +7.5 GB disk3
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk3s1
2: Apple_HFS InstallESD 7.2 GB disk3s2
Since I can't find the volumes in my diskutil list, I can't force the unmount on them. How to retrieve this space ?
