In the process of managing Mac partitions (either resize or deletion) there may remain free spaces on mac hard drive. These free spaces on hard drive can be used to neither to store data nor to install any application.
The best way to utilize these free spaces is to merge them to create new partition. The following diagram will put my point more clearly.
Mac Hard drive structure
P1
|
F1
|
P2
|
F2
|
P3
|
In the above diagram, F1 and F2 are scattered free spaces. These cannot be used in this status. To make it usable, its always suggested to merge these free spaces together. After merging, the new structure will be like this:
P1
|
P2
|
F1 F2
|
P3
