Boot Camp gives you the ability to make a Windows-bootable partition, making it easy to install Windows while maintaining a bootable macOS partition, too.

If you want to uninstall other apps or reclaim space on your disk, however, it’s a good idea to use a specialist uninstaller like CleanMyMac X.

Sometimes, due to file system corruption, operating system malfunction or other similar reasons, the Mac partition gets corrupted and becomes completely inaccessible. In certain cases of severe corruption, even you cannot format the partition. In such conditions, the corresponding volume/partition first needs to be deleted before creating a fresh partition.

Similarly, when you need to increase the size of a particular Mac volume/partition and no free spaces are left on your drive then you cannot resize the partition. Here, first you have to delete any unused partition, so that a new partition of the required size can be made out of the generated free space.

Remove Microsoft Reserved Partition Mac Os

So, as the title states I have a problem with an unwanted partition. I installed windows 10 via bootcamp last night for the second time. The first time I installed, I deleted the OSXRESERVED partition (not sure how though, as it wont allow me now) and windows was destroyed in the process. I would like to get rid of it because when I go to choose what to boot into I have a Mac HD and two Windows options. Any help would be great. My windows partition is 80gb the OSXRESERVED partition is 8gb. I am running on a 2015 15' MBP - base.
