There's missing space in my partitions on my Macbook 2016 My Macbook is usually 250gb, and I'm looking to increase the main container disk1 to as close as that as possible. There's like 37GB of unaccounted space. Where is it? I can't tell if its being used or if its potentially something I can merge. Here's a screencap of my current disk list.



There's only 213.7GB of usable space. To give context this laptop is fairly new, but I may have messed up removing a partition or something. I don't have any data installed either.
Based on the information you have posted, the missing free space can be found to be between disk0s1 and disk0s2. The macOS operating system is stored in the APFS container partition (disk0s2). There is no command or application provided by macOS that can merger this free space back to this container.
