Recently purchased Clean My Mac. After initial scan and clean I elected to run the clean startup disk. Big mistake. It has wiped out my startup disk. Utilities has not been able to find a destination disk. It is a 2013 Mac 27" with intel chip. Can anyone help?

If your disk has been wiped, your only recourse is to reinstall your OS and restore data from backups.
There's no telling exactly what you need to do having supplied very little information. Start here: How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support
You may need to do this: Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support
And never use any kind of fixer, optimizer or improvement apps again.

Use the Apple supplied tools to erase, reinstall and restore from your backup.

Thank you for your reply and help. I followed your instructions until the Install OS X screen (OS X Mountain Lion) came up that asks to select the disk where you want to install OS X. However the screen shows no disk to select. The only available option is "Back".

When you do get this sorted out, do not re-install CleanMyMac.
I hear you and I won't!
Best of luck!
