If there is no data in the deleted partition

In daily Mac use, many users may have ever come across partition loss caused by virus infection or artificial deletion. And they feel panic-stricken but do not know how to solve the problem when facing this situation. We will introduce reasonable solutions to all Mac users. When partition loss occurs, we can cope with it in two ways.

If there is no data in the deleted partition, it will not bring serious losses for users, only influencing disk utilization ratio. At this time, we can use Mac built-in Disk Utility to create new partition or extend other partitions, reusing the space of the deleted partition. Successively click "Applications" - "Utilities" - "Disk Utility" to open Disk Utility and then select "Partition" to enter partition management interface, just as the following picture shows.



In the interface, we can see there is an unallocated space (when partition is lost, unallocated space like this will appear), click the button below to create a new partition and we can reuse the space. Besides, we can also use this unallocated space to extend partition above it. Then the problem of partition loss is solved.
If there are data in the lost partition, the above method is not advisable, because it will make data lost forever, causing us serious consequences. When encountering this situation, we should recover deleted partition data for Mac first, and then create new partition, which is the best solution. Maybe many users doubt whether we can recover deleted partition data for Mac or not since the partition has been lost. However, we can easily make it as long as we have the professional Mac data recovery software MiniTool Mac Data Recovery. Then we'll introduce it in detail.
