Can't Re-allocate Free Space Bootcamp Partition Disk Utility

I accidentally deleted the Bootcamp partition for Windows 10 and got 45.7GB of free space. However, I can't allocate the free space to my macOS partition. I've tried running First Aid as Disk Utility suggested to do so when removing this free space partition failed, but finally, no luck. I've also referred to some ways in another Apple Community, however, Disk Utility says "Unable to read the Windows partition", and no remove option is available. (By the way, SIP and FileVault are turned off)

How did you delete your Boot Camp partition? The right way to delete a Windows partition requires using the Boot Camp Assistant utility on your Mac.

If you indeed delete the partition on your Mac with that utility, are you sure you've deleted it successfully? I think you can try to use Boot Camp Assistant to delete your Windows partition once a time, then check if you can allocate the free space partition for macOS. If the issue still occurs, try to delete the free space partition in macOS Recovery Mode.
