MP 1,1-5,1 Removing Boot Camp Partition?

[rmpitzer]

Hello,

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to a 5,1 running Mojave. It's currently running Windows 10 on a Bootcamp partition that was setup using Boot Camp Assistant before I did the 5,1 update. I have now installed Windows on it's own drive, and would like the delete the Boot Camp partition, so I can use all of the first drive for the Mac OS. Normally I would use Boot Camp Assistant to do this, but I get a message that says "This Mac does not support Boot Camp"

I tried doing a search, but didn't find anything obvious. Has anyone successfully removed the Boot Camp partition on their drive? Or do I need to nuke the whole drive, and re-install MacOS?

Thanks for any help.

I have removed partitions from an external drive and the space was given to the remaining partition. I used the Erase function of Disk Utility (it sits in the Utilities folder of Applications). My guess is a Boot Camp drive can be erased like any other, but cannot be certain. Just make sure you have a backup of everything important on the other partitions, just is case.

How about Disk Utility? Delete partition and extend APFS volume to its limits?
Or use this script once you delete the NTFS partition from within Mojave (booted from Mojave):
