Raw

So while attempting bootcamp, my computer crashed and created a ghost partition that refused to be fixed by Disk Utility. Specifically, while attempting to fix the problem, I kept running into

The provided Core Storage logical volume has an incorrect size; you should run whole-disk repair

particularly when trying to use Disk Utility to delete the new free space partition that had popped up, even in recovery mode. However, running*

diskutil repairDisk disk0

and then going through Disk Utility to delete the free space partition re-absorbed it into Macintosh HD. Yay?

*doing a backup before this would probably have been wise.
