Trying to get my drive back to being a single volume as it was before. Disk utility wont let me erase or partition the new volumes. Please let me know what I can do! Thankyou
Here is a screenshot of my diskutil list:
In your specific case, given the current state, try
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC1 disk0s3
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC2 disk0s4
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC3 disk0s5
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC4 disk0s6
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC5 disk0s7
diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ BCMP disk0s3 disk0s7
diskutil list
If you see only disk0s3 as the last entry under disk0, then run
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3
and retry removing the partition using BC Assistant only.
If you want to install Windows again, disconnect all external storage, run a SMC and NCRAM Reset and try BC Assistant.

Each EFI NO NAME indicates external storage connected to the Mac during installation of Windows, when none is required.
Can you reboot and post the text version of
diskutil list
It will clean up the gaps in the disk partitions list. You have disk0s3 and disk0s4 missing in your screen shot.
I did a reboot and copy pasted the diskutil list. Let me know if you need anything else, thanks!

Thankyou!
Excellent!
Can't get rid of partitions after failed bootcamp.
