Hello, I have a problem, I installed Asahi linux in my macbook air M1 and I deleted because it did not boot. I therefore removed it using the disk manager, but the partitions are still present.

how to delete partitions associated with Asahi and return to OSX partitions ?



#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER


0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0


1: Apple_APFS_ISC Container disk2 524.3 MB disk0s1


2: Apple_APFS Container disk6 103.9 GB disk0s2


3: EFI EFI - ASAHI 500.2 MB disk0s3


4: Apple_APFS Container disk5 75.7 GB disk0s4


5: EFI EFI - ASAHI 500.2 MB disk0s5


6: Apple_APFS Container disk1 2.5 GB disk0s6


7: EFI EFI - ASAHI 500.2 MB disk0s7


8: Apple_APFS Container disk4 61.5 GB disk0s8


9: Apple_APFS_Recovery Container disk3 5.4 GB disk0s9





Thank-you

I’ve come across this issue, too. I deleted the Asahi Linux partition and then installed the Fedora version. Now I’m left with a container I’m unable to remove. I’ve been assuming I’d need to just erase the entire thing when Sonoma comes out officially, and then start over with Fedora.

…this helped me a lot. I’ve had a few containers and partitions I’ve been unable to remove either in Disk Utility or via the Terminal. This helped clean that all up.

Also, when making changes in Disk Utility after the Terminal command, it took a WHILE, and my MBP froze up on me for roughly 10+ minutes. Just let it do its thing and it’ll complete.
