I would like to trade in my MacBook Pro and buy a new MacBook Pro.
when I erase my Macintosh HD, the erase process failed due to the disk is still in use. Now it can’t be shutdown or restart.
Can I still trade in this laptop in this condition or do I need to take it to Apple to repair it first?
Many thanks!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
You must boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and erase from there. One can't erase the drive one is booted into. Then in the same Recovery volume window reinstall the system.
