If you mean erase and format, then reinstall the macOS…..?

Thanks.

But...

in the paragraph "Use Disk Utility to erase your Mac" on that page, the last part of point 4 applies: "Don't see Macintosh HD?"

Which points to the last paragraph "If you don’t see Macintosh HD in Disk Utility". That gives: "If your disk still doesn't appear in Disk Utility, … your Mac might need service."

This is to cryptic for me. What sort of problems do I have?

Software, I guess. Because Disk Utility sees the disk.
