Unable to read the Windows partition: Fixed!

Receiving an message when I try to remove the bootcamp partition using the Boot Camp Assistant:

Unable to read the Windows partition

Boot Camp Assistant was unable to verify if the Windows partition contains a Windows installation. This may be because BitLocker is enabled on the partition. If so, disable BitLocker on the disk before removing Boot Camp.

What can I do then?

Any suggestions will be appreciated sincerely!

This error is not tough to troubleshoot, just follow the steps below:

  1. Run this command line, which shows you all partitions, volumes, and drives on your machine, including the connected ones. Find the identifier code of the partition you use as the bootcamp partition:

diskutil

The bootcamp partition always shows up with the name of Windows Recovery.

  1. Then run this command line and hit Enter. Remember to replace the disk0s3 with the identifier code of the bootcamp partition of yours. This step erases the BootCamp partition directly.

diskutil eraseVolume free free disk0s3

  1. Then retry BootCamp Assistant, and everything is done.
