Deleted MacIntosh HD and MacIntosh HD - Data

Hi I wanted to reset my macbook to factory settings but i deleted MacIntosh HD along the way. Now when I try to reinstall MacOS (high sierra), it won't. It will install but after installing it will keep saying something is wrong and its unable to be installed onto my macbook. So I tried to go under disk utility and used first aid for "AppleAPFSMedia" but it keeps saying that "First Aid found corruption that needs to be repaired. To repair the startup volume, run first aid from Recovery." I'm stuck at this point and don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated!!

MacBook Pro 13″

Thank you! I did this ("Option" + "R") on bootup > Disk Utility > View (from the top bar) > show all devices > selected and erased "APPLE SSD SM0128L Media" then named the new one to "Mactintosh ID"; format - APFS; GUID Partition. Then I went back to MacUtilities and reinstalled MacOS and it worked!!

BTW, I tried using Apple Support Via Chat but they said that I should bring it in as it could be a hardware issue. I think it's an issue for more training!! lol. anyways, i did a bunch of research and above is what worked for me!!
