Bootcamp doesn‘t appear anymore and can‘t be deleted

Dear community


I had a windows bootcamp installed on my macbook but lately it doesn‘t show up anymore. I didn‘t delete it but neither does it show up in the disk utility nor in the terminal using the „diskutil list“ command. I would like to delete the bootcamp in order to get the „lost“ space back. Thank you in advance for any help and hints!

You should not have the ‘KernelCoreDump’ partition on a public macOS release. If you are on a public release, then this can be deleted. Run


diskutil eraseVolume free free disk0s3

diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk1 0g

diskutil list


and post the output.
