Deleting All Content on a Mac:


Format the Drive Anew:

Are note you concerned with the loss of data? If not, bypass the backup creation, and then proceed with the format. IMPORTANT: All will be lost, if you do not backup your data prior to the erase.

To Do So:

  1. Boot: into Recovery Mode
  2. Select: Disk Utiltiy
  3. Select: [the Drive]
  4. Click: Erase
