I tried to increase my boot camp windows boot camp partition but ended up making my windows boot camp partition the main one. I then deleted the windows boot camp partition. I’m only able to access Mac via internet recovery but I don’t have enough space that I can see for a fresh install. I think there must still be a large partition in the boot camp I can’t access as I only have two x 13 GB showing when in internet recovery mode

I've wrecked 4 M1 &M2 because of bad advice from a UK Senior Tech about using Migration Assist. Both Macs need to be on the same os Mac or Migration Assistant won't work, so bought a Microsoft PC that runs Mac & Windows.

Microsoft 365 Personal | Office 365 apps | 1 user | 1 year subscription | PC/Mac, Tablet and Phone | multilingual | Box​

Jim hoping for some luck with this, never used Windows PC ever

Brand: Microsoft
Platform : Mac OS Sierra 10.12, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Mac OS Big Sur 11

Why not format/erase the whole drive. Do this with Disk Utility in Recovery, then create one APFS volume. Default name would be “Macintosh HD.” Afterwards you can quit out of Disk Utility and proceed to installing macOS. If your MacBook model will allow it, Recovery should offer to install macOS Monterey.

I had a similar problem with my wife's iMac. I did what Tony has suggested and it all worked out great.
