Hi there,
- Select "View" in the toolbar > "Show All Devices".
- Select your main hard drive. This will either be "APPLE SSD...", "APPLE HDD...", or "Fusion Drive".
- Click Erase, and input the following exactly: (If you cannot select erase on the main hard drive, erase the "Container".)
- Name: Macintosh HD
- Format: APFS
- Scheme: GUID Partition Map (if shown)
- Click Erase
- Quit Disk Utility
- Go to the reinstall macOS app.
- Follow the prompts, and install on Macintosh HD.
Cheers,
Jack
