An excellent tutorial! Clear and concise and easy to follow. Thanks!
Thank you so much sir this tutorial actually saved me when I tried removing asahi linux from my macbook the remove button in the partition manager was greyed out I started panicking but I believe there will be the ones out there that shares such content and you are the one!
Thanks @Wind_Explorer ! Asahi Linux is great! they will get around to an uninstaller or instructions soon. Until, then I was hoping this video would help someone 👍
Thank you so much! I was getting frustrated trying to get my space back. Ended up reinstalling MacOS, but I’m so relieved now.
Amazing tutorial! Clear, simple and works like a charm!
Struggled to find anything like this across the internet . Thank you dear person
Thank you so much Mr. Macintosh. I initially downloaded asahi Linux thinking it would be user friendly and all and it kept up taking up all my space in my M1 Mac resulting it to preform slowly. Now I’m back on track!! ❤
Thank you! While I'm excited for the future of Asahi Linux, it's just not ready and your tutorial really helped me out.
Wooo thanks for this. That EFI data did not want to go away ! Lol. I accidentally enter the wrong amount of storage for asahi, so I’m going back but thanks a lot for this !
Great tutorial. Straightforward and worked flawlessly. Thank you!
Sir, you are so great!!! I finally removed the Asahi. It troubled me for about 1 year!!
Amazing tutorial, Loved how you explained everything nice and slow. 10/10 loved it so much I subscribed
Thank you Steven!!! 👍
@@Mr.Macintosh I can't see the partition in disk utility and also can't see anything about Asahi linux. I have only 149gb space, but the SSD is 256 and I can't see where the other 100gb is. It's like it ghosted out.....What is happening?
Asahi Linux works for me, but I just partitioned the hard drive too small and had to reinstall it. This video helped a lot.
Awesome! Thanks so much for this! I was able to successfully uninstall OpenBSD that I had installed on my mac mini m1
ty for this. I had an extra partition that was apart of the linux filesystem so I was a bit confused but deleting it worked fine.
Thank you so much! Worked flawlessly for me.
Exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you!!!
Thanks man, that saved me. That EFI partition really was impossible to deal with otherwise.
You bet @AScribblingTurtle I really like Asahi but going back was a little difficult for sure.
Thank you soo much Mr. Macintosh. I just bought an M1 pro and decide to finish up my college assignment which should be done in Linux. I decided to download Asahi Linux because I thought it was user-friendly like VirtualBox. I nearly called Apple to return my mac after being stranded for days. I chanced upon this video when all hope was lost and your tutorials worked. You just earned yourself a lifelong subscriber!
Paul, thank you for your comments! I'm glad you were able to get your Mac back running again!
What exactly happened to your computer to get stuck like that? :(
@@iliabrianso7796 Trying to install Asahi Linux as root os on my m1
@@paulhayman8507 But what happened then, computer gone unusable at all?
BROOOOO THANK YOUUUU NO ONE PUTS INFO ON THIS AND I FINALLY HAVE FREED THIS SPACE ON MY MAC
This is how a tut guide should always be. Thanks!
thank you so much for teaching us how to install it and remove it.i hope you have a great day!
This worked perfectly with a slight tweak, thank you! (FYI: in newer version of Asahi, there is an extra partition to remove "Linux Filesystem" usually 1.1 GB big and in my case named "disk0s5". Like you said, don't delete the first and don't delete the last partition, but this one is listed before the biggest Asahi partition and therefore standing out.)
Thanks for the tip! Im glad I read this before trying it out because I had that as well.
@@READERSENPAII You are welcome!
Thank you very much for this video. It saved me from having to re-image my whole laptop.
Many thanks for this tutorial. It has been very helpful and very easy to follow. =)
Thanks for the tutorial! That was the exact problem I had.
Excellent information. I noticed that I needed to format all Asahi filesystems to apfs before I could delete them and claim all space back.
Also works fine in 2024 on MBP with M2. A tip from me: Before you make any changes and delete Asahi Linux, select the correct boot partition in the system settings (start volume). Restart macOS once and then continue deleting the partitions. Thank you for your helpful guide and best regards from Germany. Keep up your good work, cheers!
PS: My only but biggest problem was not really to know, in which order the partitions would be safely deleted and merged.
What a mistake I made by downloading Asahi Linux! Thanks so much for this video, it detailed exactly what I needed.
Why what happened?
@@harryhall4001 its just bad
Worked perfectly, thank you!👍
You are a godsend ser, thanks so much for helping me uninstall this completely!
Even though I didn't see this until I already factory reset my mac and lost all my data 😭 only to see that Asahi was still lurking in my disk partitions 😂
(no worries tho, was still a real fresh mac with not much or nothing really important on it haha)
I was struggling with problem thanks for this tutoriel
I followed your instructions on a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro with 16 GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The intension was to change the macbook with touchbar to a macbook without touchbar and install linux on it. Thanks.

Many thanks!
Thank you for your tutorials I love your content I'm actually looking between getting an m1 max mbp or a surface book 3 for school and gaming wich would you recommend?? (I'm looking for the most powerful option mainly)
I wouldn’t recommend macs for gaming at all
They are indeed very powerful machines but there is no support when it comes to games especially on m1
Unreal, Thankyou!
Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU!
Thank you!!
TYSM!
It’s nice that apple is heavily investing in the Mac again I remember when Tim Cook said it wasn’t a priority when he first started
Thank you Man
Salute sir, thank you
Thank you so much
Thank you because my installation failed so i had to remove it
Thank you soo much.
Thank you sir ⚪️🕊️
Thanks!
Thanks you! I am removed macos
thank you!!
Can you just remove the asahi disk container instead using only 1 command ?
Thanks Mr. Macintosh.
Thanks Julio 👍😀
Hey! I did what you asked not to and thats because i couldnt do what you asked. i couldnt run the code with JHFS+ drive. It gave an error. "JHES+ does not appear to be a valid file system format" so I just went ahead and removed it from disk utility. Now, the minus (delete) button is greyed out. Apple support senior technicians are also unable to me after hours of being on call with them. I went back to terminal. and ran this command and it worked: diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ drive /dev/disk0s6 , but still disk utility wont let me delete that partition. What should i do. please help.
My brother in Christ thank you so much for this lovely vid
Hello!
Can you please make a video on how to uninstall macOS completely to use all space on a MacBook for Linux?
I have to resize the existing partition which contains macOS to install asahi linux. But isn’t the resizing disadvantageous? I’m not experienced with this stuff, but for me it sounds bad. And will the deletion of asahi redo the resizing?
when i click apply button it says operation failed
For whatever reason the recovery prompt in the last step never appeared when I restarted my computer. Regardless, I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial! Cheers!
same for me no promp, and i have one more partition ^^
Maybe because asahi changed a bit since the video
@@AlainEtSaCooperative I don't have an extra partition; but, like qsmjah, I also didn't have any problems or extra steps when rebooting.
@@AlainEtSaCooperative Weird. After uninstalling Asahi Linux I installed Asahi Fedora - this time when I uninstalled it I also had an extra partition and this time had that prompt on reboot. =S
"an internal state error occured" why does this happen?
i want to ask u how to remove KALI linux from macbook pro with partitions
thanks thanks thanks you are help me
thank you
you're a godsend
I have lost 90 GB of the SSD after deleting Asahi Linux from my M1 MacBook Air 256gb now it shows that the maximum storage capacity is only 156gb and not 256gb please help me out
Lifesaver 😀
is there a way to set the bootpolicy back to enforcing default
Great question! The good part about the M1 is that each boot volume has its own boot policy security. The boot security on the macOS volume was never touched, only the Asahi Linux one. So when we remove the volume & and EFI partition the macOS boot policy is still what it was before. 👍
Hi there,
I watched your video by following the same actions and steps as you did. During the deletion of partitions mine got stuck at the "root tree" section, then I pressed and hold down the power button assuming that it will reboot and I could get back to recovery and boot up securely. However, instead, I got an ssd failure with an exclamation mark at the startup. I had a backup so my data is safe. I tried " CMD + SHIFT + R, CMD + SHIFT + OPTION + R, etc" None of them worked... and the whole ssd was gone... Since I had no any other mac's I was not able to revive or restore via Apple Configurator, so I had to take it to the apple store, apparently they were not able restore or revive it (at least that's what the "genius" bar specialist told me, I don't know what they actually did back there) and my poor MacBook flew to Houston TX last week (5 days ago). I just got it back a few hours ago, thankfully they were able to fix it and now I am back :)
Of course I am not saying this for a bad review for you, but the thing is, I want people to know if this is their first time doing it which was mine, during the deletion of partition, it may get stuck. And if you shut down the system and thinking that it might reboot in the recovery, It does not! it fails your whole ssd which is very interesting... Please be aware of that.
Other than that have fun
Kaan, I am very sorry to hear that this happened to you. I'm not sure why it got stuck at that part. It can take some time but should at least error out if Diskutil has any issues!!! The Apple store should have been able to fix this with a DFU revive or restore. Maybe they did not know how to do it? If you want to send me an email I can check what they did for you.
Your advice is very much appreciated. It helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
how long did it take when your hit apply and the hit partition to merge the free space? My mac is frozen right now and i’m a little worried
Hello, this process can take some time. I speed the video up during this part. Did it finish ok?
@@Mr.Macintosh No, im going to explain what happened so it wont happen to other people. So I was following your video in the background whilst doing this and as soon as I hit the “partition” button everything seemed to be fine. However, after about 10 seconds my mac stopped responding to anything, but your video audio was still playing in the background. Then another 10 seconds go by and your video audio stops too. Now it’s completely stuck with the display still on, but frozen. I cannot do anything. I let it stay frozen for about an hour or so more and whilst it was frozen i was googling if it was safe to force my mac to shut down. The google results said it was okay to shut it down so I held the power button and it forced shut down. Now my MacBook is bricked and won’t turn on, it won’t even go into startup options. It just shows an exclamation mark and says I need to contact apple support. I’m honestly so stupid for force shutting the mac when it was partitioning but I trusted the google results. Thank you for your video though I’m sure it has helped a lot of people, it’s just unfortunate it didnt work to me :( I’m a university student and it’s finals season right now ahhhhh
@@mrsrhardy It's okay. I fixed the laptop by using my girlfriends MacBook to restore it through apple configurator 2. Revive didn't work but a restore did. I did a backup to my external hard drive right before I installed Asahi so everything is the same! All goods. :) How long should I have waited? I have the 2021 M1 Pro and my Mac was frozen for about an hour or so. I would expect the M1 pro SSD to marge quicker, or at least not be frozen. Thank you!
@@mrsrhardy Ah okay thank you, so it wasn't the laptops fault it just my impatience :P
You legend
I erased partitions just like the way you described in the video but then my Mac crashed and I have to restore it. I’ll lost all my data 😭
I touched the two last partitions before you said not to touch them : (
You can skip the part after partitioning by just clicking on the Apple logo and selecting the right startup disl
maan, they should just link this video directly, thank you
thanks, got rid of fedora. i want arch btw
bro, why don't you delete all the linux partitions with diskutil?
Can you do a video for how to delete ubuntu linux on sonoma apple m1 chip please🥹🥹
W mans
looks like an M1 Mac differs much from an Intel-Mac, and even much more from an ordinary UEFI-PC, other than just having another type of processor.
yeah this didnt work for me, I need to reinstall Mac OS entirely for fucks sake
same wtf
@@shndowalt it bricked the mac, I had to take it to an apple store, they could not restore it. they ended up replacing it with a brand new one. always get apple care+.
@@cgwworldministries83 damn that didn't happen for me tho it worked on the second time I'm so sorry bro
@@shndowalt eh life goes on. Apple Care+ got me a new Mac and I just bought a laptop to install Linux on and play with distros. I will leave the Mac as a Mac. I like Mac OS. Just be aware that it can happen on the M2. I dont have a m3 mac to test it on but when it does come out, I do NOT plan on testing it to find out. Just be careful with your Macs friend. Is it Apple's fault? Most likely, but I am not about to go and try again and again.
hmm i guess m1 doesn't have this problem@@cgwworldministries83
Thx for the info. What a shit distro. Super not ready for primetime.
it does not work for me, when I type this: diskutil eraseVolume JHFS+ drive / dev/diskOs4, it says: The third parameter does not appear to be "bootable" or "nonbootable"
can you help me?
Check your path to the disk
/dev/disk9s9
Shouldn't be an Oh
