I have a 1997 iMac 27" with Intel Core i5. I don't see a clear/clean way to erase all my data. I am about to trade this iMac for a 2022 iMac 24" M1 Chip.
The "Erase all...." option was not available until macOS Monterey:
Erase all content and settings on Mac - Apple Support
so you use these instruction set instead:
What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support
skipping Step 1.
There was no 27" iMac nor an Intel Core i5 in 1997.

Thx. It's done. Working from my new M1 Chip iMac. Love it.
You're welcome.
I don't have "Erase All Content and Settings" on my iMac
