MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
Processor: 2.8 GHt Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB
I want to partition my Disk because I want to try to install Linux-Ubuntu. For this I'm following this tutorial.
In Disk utility
I clicked on the main volume > partition > partition but the following message appears:
This container has 915.81 GB used space.
Its minimum size is 1 TB.
This container cannot be split because the resulting containers would be too small.
And I cannot click on the +
button to partition the disk
I then tried the following:
-
I then tried to make some space and deleted around 300+ GB of data and have now 439 GB (when I go to apple button (above left) > About this Mac > Storage). However, in
Disk utility
the amount of free memory didn't change and is still only around 85GB and it is still not possible to partition the disk. -
I deleted 2/3 automatic time machine backups with
tmutil listlocalsnapshots /
tmutil deletelocalsnapshots ...
- deactivated the automatic time machine backups with
sudo tmutil disable localsnapshot
What should I do?
EDIT
Here is the screenshot from diskutil where the problem is appearing:
