I deleted some partitions I was using for a dual boot with Ubuntu using gdisk, but now Disk Utility nor diskutil will show empty space from deleting the volumes. Although my GUID_partition_scheme shows I have 500 gigs on the disk, the space is just gone and no longer able to be expanded to the "Macintosh HD" partition. I tried rebooting but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

This command will not work if your main volume is part of a CoreStorage Volume Group.
