AppleAPFSMedia uninitialized



Hi

I've tried to initialized & reinstall macOS Catalina on my MacBook in order to sell, but during the process something went wrong; and now the disk "AppleAPFSMedia" seems to be uninitialized.

Now it appear 3 disk, "AppleAPFSMedia", Macintosh HD (under the previous one) and Apple SSD AP0256J Media (on attachment 3 pictures)

I've tried several time to recover or initilize the "AppleAPFSMedia" without success.


Does somebody can help me ?


Thanks



MacBook

if you are not going to save anything then boot into recovery or externally with Mojave,High Sierra or Catalina and delete the previous Catalina volumes. Then add a volume , name it and do the install.
