title: Deleted BOOTCAMP partition capacity went into Recovery HD
body: <p>I am facing a weird problem and it is honestly driving me crazy!</p>
  
  <p>I had a bootcamp partition (80 Go) with Windows 7 installed for a while. I then tried to remove this partition using Apple's Bootcamp Assistant but I encountered an error and was not able to do so. So I decided to boot in Recovery Mode, formatted the <code>BOOTCAMP</code> partition in the hope that I would later be able to merge it with my <code>Macintosh HD</code> one.</p>
  
  <p>I succeeded in doing this, meaning that I then had <code>Macintosh HD</code> on one side, and an empty 80 Go <code>BOOTCAMP</code> partition on the other. </p>
  
  <p>However, something went wrong in the process of merging them together and for some reason, I now have a capacity of 420 Go displayed on <code>Macintosh HD</code> (same as before), no <code>BOOTCAMP</code> partition displayed at all, and a <code>diskutil list</code> command showing me 80 Go for <code>Apple Recovery HD</code> (which correspond to my initial BOOTCAMP capacity):</p>
  
  <pre><code>➜  ~  diskutil list
  /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_HFS Macintosh HD            419.4 GB   disk0s2
     3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             80.5 GB    disk0s3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I launch the <code>First Aid</code> option in <code>Disk Utility</code> on <code>Apple SSD</code>, I get the following: </p>

  <p>My only wish is to be able to recover my full 500 Go on <code>Macintosh HD</code> in order to later use bootcamp again and install Windows 10. </p>
  
  <p>Looking forward to any kind of help, </p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
