IPod Nano 1st generation delete all music

Question

IPod Nano 1st generation delete all music

I have inherited an iPod Nano 1st generation from my grand daughter. My new auto now has a direct connection to use an iPod through the internal 6 speaker system.
Now, how can I erase, delete/remove my grand daughter's (age 16) musical selection?

I am 75 and cannot bear to listen to the music on this iPod.

I have an Intel iMac 2.8Ghz/w/latest iTunes v7.6.1.

PLEASE HELP? I have downloaded the manual for the iPod Nano from Apple...can anyone help me easily remove all on this iPod Nano(music and pictures)so I can place the music of my choice?
Many thanks in advance for all the help.

Restore your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
