A while ago I made a linux partition on my MBP (2017), but it didn’t work so well so I needed to delete the partition. After a lot of trouble trying to delete it, I found this answer; I used the second part to free the space on the old linux partition, and then I resized it to 0. Only, it didn’t actually resize. The partition is still there (though it is no longer showing up in Disk Utility):
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 500.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 276.5 GB disk0s2
3: EFI NO NAME 629.1 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +276.5 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 246.9 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 45.9 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 510.8 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4
I think it is this line that is the culprit, though I am not sure:
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 276.5 GB disk0s2
As I say, I have run
diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 0
As per the linked answer, but nothing changed. Even in recovery mode, Disk Utility will only show the ~277 GB I have available on the main partition.
How can I reclaim this space, which is no longer actually showing up?
P.S., this is what I had before I ran those commands:
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 500.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 276.5 GB disk0s2
3: EFI NO NAME 629.1 MB disk0s3
4: Apple_HFS Untitled 222.7 GB disk0s4
5: Apple_Boot Boot OS X 134.2 MB disk0s5
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +276.5 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 249.7 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 45.9 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 510.8 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 6.4 GB disk1s4
/dev/disk3 (disk image):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: NO NAME +10.7 GB disk3
NO NAME
was just a USB drive, by the way.
