Hello,
when I try to reset my MacBook Air with M1, the hard drive doesn’t seem to be fully erased. Even though I’ve tried all the erase methods available.
Could it be an old Apple ID still signed in on the MacBook that I didnt sign out of before? Or does anyone have the same “problem”
it’s about 137MB still on the drive even though it should be completely empty…
thanks in advance!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

This is normal. You never completely erase a hard drive. There is always some data related to the very inner workings of the drive: sectors, format, clusters and all that techy stuff.
