While Bootcamp is a great program, there may come a time when you need to uninstall it from your Mac. This guide will show you how to do just that.

Resources
Assuming you no longer want or need Bootcamp on your Mac, uninstalling it is a relatively easy process. All you need to do is delete the Windows partition from your Mac’s hard drive. However, before you do that, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
First, unless you plan on reinstalling Windows, you should back up any files or data you have on the Windows partition. Once you delete the partition, those files will be gone for good.
Second, uninstalling Bootcamp will not delete any of the other partitions on your Mac’s hard drive. So if you have multiple partitions (e.g., one for macOS and one for Windows), deleting the Windows partition will not affect the others.
Here’s how to uninstall Bootcamp from your Mac:
1. Boot into macOS.
2. Open Disk Utility (located in Applications > Utilities).
3. Select your Bootcamp partition from the list of volumes on the left side of the Disk Utility window.
4. Click the “Delete” button at the top of the window.
5. Confirm that you want to delete the selected volume by clicking “Delete Volume.”
6. Quit Disk Utility when finished.
