is this the procedure you followed: What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support


In reality, what you're doing is destroying everything on the drive ... everything. If you skip that step, you can still erase the drive. What may happen is the Mac may still be shown in certain other Apple device panels because you never signed out of your Apple ID. As long as you know that's the case, no harm no foul; it may drop off eventually or you can force its removal usually.
