I missed that disregard part of the article

The part of the article that says to disregard deleting internal Mac HD volume, well I didn't see that. What do I do now? When I go to reinstall macOS and I'm prompted to select the disk where I want to install macOS, there are no options to select, it's just blank.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

You have a very old version of Recovery.

Try starting up holding down cmd-opt-r to startup using Apple’s servers.


If able, select that same device in Disk Utility and Erase. Set the format to APFS, if possible. Then back out of Disk Utility and Reinstall macOS.


If you can’t, format as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Then, back out of Disk Utility and Reinstall macOS. My guess is you will install the OS that shipped on that Mac (or whatever you had before Big Sur).
