Go to disk utility via Mac OS utilities

Select your internal ssd/hdd. Tick on erase in the control panel above, and erase it as AFPS

Why does Disk Utility show only macOS base system after erasing data in recovery mode? So when I launch recovery mode and look at my disk utility after erasing the internal data, I only see the MacOS base system is that normal? I have also tired a handful of times to redownload MacOS but some data is still there and doesn’t reboot to the normal start screen when you first but the MacBook. Does anyone have any suggestions I’m trying to sell it soon. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
