How to recover storage space from Boot Camp?

So, for some context I was installing windows using boot camp and was on the part where you select the partition.

I accidentally deleted the partition containing MacOs and when repairing and re installing MacOs, I got stuck with the 130gb partition and missing the other part to complete the 250gb storage I'm supposed to have

FYI, there is a command line option that may work to merge the "free" space item back into the main APFS Container of macOS. Here are two posts which may help.....if you still have a Windows partition showing instead of an item called "free space", then you will first need to delete the Windows partition before you can merge them (just makes it easier).

Here is a template you can use to delete the Windows' partition to make it into a "free space" item.....the commands are specific to the user's system so the instructions will need to be modified a bit:
