Once you boot into Internet Recovery Mode you need to launch Disk Utility and erase the whole physical drive. If you are booting a macOS 10.13+ installer, then you need to click "View" within Disk Utility and select "Show All Devices" so that the physical drive appears on the left pane of Disk Utility. You want to erase the physical drive as GUID partition. You will select either APFS (top option) if installing macOS 10.13+ or MacOS Extended (Journaled) if installing macOS macOS 10.12 or earlier.
