Bootcamp has totally disappeared

I did an "option" restart to get to my Windows Bootcamp partition, and it is totally gone. When I look at Memory, only my MAC memory is showing. My grandson is the last person who accessed bootcamp (the day before). I'm sure he did not go into Bootcamp Utilities and do anything - is it possible a virus has done this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

Boot camp disappeared after switching to windows Hello, I recently switched from IOS to Windows using boot camp on my Mac since I wanted to play games that where only available on windows. The problem is since that day I cannot install even the smallest games because I have no space on disk for some reason. I tried restarting and resetting but that didn't do anything and my storage is still full after installing like one game. I can't even go back to IOS now since my boot camp disappeared and I can't find it in any way. Yes I tried restarting while holding the alt/option key but it didn't worked. Another thing. After restarting I was unable to install some applications due to an error ,,vcruntime140. dll was not found" and any tutorials about fixing it didn't helped. I would really appreciate the help with coming back to the earlier state of my computer or with fixing the storage/error problem. Thank you in advance

Storage not available for Mac OS after removing Boot Camp partition Hello everyone, I had a Book Camp partition with Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro 15" 2017 (Mac OS 13.1 and 512 GB Storage) which I don't needed anymore. When I tried to remove the partition using Boot Camp Assistent some error message appeared that unfortunately I can't remember. Now the partition seems to be uninstalled but still there are only 371 GB storage available for Mac OS instead of the 512 GB my macbook has. The storage that was used by the partition seems to have disappeared. Can anybody help me with that? Please tell me if you need any details or screenshots. Best Franz
