What drive to erase on a Fusion Drive 2017 iMac?
I need to know exactly how to erase (format) a Fusion Drive iMac using Recovery Mode and Disk Utility.
I don't know whether to erase the Fusion Drive itself (at the top of the hierarchy on the top left), or to erase the Container Disk (second in the hierarchy) or to erase the Macintosh HD (last in the hierarchy).
Info: 2017 iMac, 21.5 inch, Monterey, intel based, without T2.
My goal is to perform a factory reset (by erasing the correct drive) so that I can reinstall macOS. Would erasing any of the three drives and reinstalling macOS on said drive do the job?
I wasn't provided with the Apple ID password of the previous owner. Would this reset erase that Apple ID account and everything related to it so that I can use the iMac as brand new?
Many answers to questions of this topic just link to standard instructions that don't address my specific concern.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
