I am trying to erase my MacBook. I am currently stuck in “Choose Startup Disk”. How do I erase it if i don’t have access to do anything on my MacBook?

Erasing a Mac Drive:


Mount the Drive in Disk Utility:

Boot into Recovery Mode (Intel or Silicon). You need to click the “Mount’ button to proceed. So, select the drives, and then click "Mount" Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more. It looks dulled-out. So, if you cannot click it, then click the First Aid button to fix this volume.
