home windows – Can not recuperate freed disk area after Bootcamp disk restoration

My MacBookPro16,1 was operating Home windows 10Pro through Bootcamp and after an replace I might not boot into Home windows. So I spent 2 days backing up my information and attempting to run Home windows restoration instruments to no avail. My closing choice then turned to take away bootcamp and reinstall bootcamp/home windows.

Home windows had been put in through bootcamp on a 4TB NTFS partition. I’ve MacOS Massive Sur 11.7.3 on the Mac.

I went by way of the Bootcamp utility, as instructed within the Apple help, and ran the “Restore disk to a single macOS partition” choice. This did certainly take away Home windows 10 and the BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. Now I’ve 4 TB of free area nevertheless I can’t reinstall Home windows on this because it doesn’t acknowledge this 4TB. Bootcamp needs to put in on an APFS partition (is that this one thing new? it has been a number of years since I did the preliminary Home windows 10/bootcamp set up and if I recall appropriately, it wanted to go on an NTFS partition).

Here’s what the disk volumes appear like now:

jami@Jamis-MacBook-Professional ~ % diskutil listing
/dev/disk0 (inside, bodily):

And here’s what it seems to be like when I attempt to set up Windows10 with Bootcamp:

What can I do to (re)set up home windows on a partition the makes use of the 4TB of free area?

I attempted operating resizeContainer so as to add/allocate the 4TB of free area to the APFS partition however that did not work.

I received an error as follows:

 % sudo diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 0
