External Drive APFS Container Phantom Volumes
- External APFS drive A is formatted with just 1 Container. The container’s 2 mounted volumes appear on the desktop. However, Disk Utility shows “SHARED BY 5 VOLUMES” and “3 Not Mounted”. Moreover, it shows that the “3 Not Mounted” account for 483.3MB.
- External APFS drive B is formatted with just 1 Container. The container’s 3 mounted volumes appear on the desktop. However, Disk Utility shows “SHARED BY 6 VOLUMES” and “3 Not Mounted”. Moreover, it shows that the “3 Not Mounted” account for 856.0MB.
What are these phantom volumes? How do I remove them to get the drive space back?
NOTE: This is NOT my internal startup drive.
