That depends on the year model and why you want to start over.


If it is a 2012 or later and you want to sell, give away or just start over fresh. You will need to use the following instructions to erase and reinstall the macOS.

If it is older, then you will need to use the original Install disc set that came with that Mac Mini to erase and reinstall the OS X.
