I have MacBook Pro 16" with 1TB. It had macOS Catalina installed. When macOS Big Sur came out, I created a new partition and installed macOS Big Sur on it. Then I wanted my 778 GB back and tried to delete Macintosh HD partition (it had Catalina installed). I erased it, but I couldn't delete it. Finally, I deleted it using diskutil apfs deleteContainer
. Now I have only macOS Big Sur partition but it only uses 222GB altough my MacBook has 778 GB left. diskutil apfs list
shows that there is only one container.

I know that erasing the disk will fix this, but I want to know if there is another way to fix it without doing this.
diskutil list disk0
, I can not confirm this.diskutil
command to merge partitions, then the contents ofdisk0s2
would be lost.
