Hi Vic, I just had to remove a partition from disk utility the other day, but my issue became more complicated because 471 MB would not be removed. That's a different story. This is what I did and others can pipe in if I am incorrect.
1. Open Disk Utility. 2. Select your main drive at the top after interacting with the table. 3. Stop interacting with the table and tab over to the Partition tab and enter on it to be selected or press the spacebar. 4. Tab past the partition layout until you hear "Image Scroll" and interact with it. Arrow down until the partition you want to remove is selected and stop interacting with it. 5. Tab over until you hear "Remove" and press VO-space and then tab to "Apply." This is the easy part. The next step is to place the amount of storage GB back into the main harddrive. I did end up calling Apple Care support and was fortunate to have a senior assistant that was familiar with voiceover. Unfortunately, the voiceover cursor will not allow one to select the main drive that you want to resize the partition storage amount. Per my suggestion, we did a remote session at this point. He was my eyes while I was navigating the track pad with voiceover off. As a team, this solution worked well. Like I said at the beginnng, I have some type of corruption within the partition that I needed to get off the computer from BootCamp, so the ony option left for me is to restore my MacBook Air to get back the 100 GB. I needed a break and I wanted to have a very recent TimeMachine backup, so I will tackle the restore on another day. I wish you luck.
