Quick Fix ?
For Apple Silicon computers, use Disk Utility to erase a Mac.
Use the Erase All Content and Settings feature to quickly and securely erase all settings, data, and apps, while maintaining the operating system currently installed
Always make a Time Machine backup before proceeding.
Migrate only the user account, not the entire system.
Reinstall only the necessary applications from the Apple App Store or directly from the developers.
