Which name and format should I use in erasing Mac OS v. 10.7? Because everytime I try to do the erase, it is looking for the name.. I have no idea what it could be. I have macbook pro late 2011 model.
Anybody can help please?
MacBook Pro
I don't see any option of "ONLY the Macintosh HD partition".. and it keeps popping up the "FAILED! COULDN'T UNMOUNT" 😟 Now, if I do the restore OS X Lion, I cannot see any drive anymore... What can i do now... 😟
Are you booted to the Recovery HD partition. Please answer that question.
I actually want to do a full system restore because the "OTHER" option of my mac usage is eating half of my memory and I couldnt do anything to get rid of them.
This is not a reason to do a full system restore. It is completely normal for the "Other" category in System Information's Storage tab to be large. "Other" consists of basically everything not in one of the other categories, and that includes the system as well as many other file types that can potentially be large. I'd advise you to stop trying to erase your system if that is your only reason.
Dear Shootist007,
Yes I did and I made it worked at last.. Now, my pc is having normal usage... (somehow) hahaha.. But seems to be realistic now.. Earlier, it was too much space which the OTHER option of storage is eating my memory... Thank you so much...
You are Welcome. Glad I could be of help.

I think you are maybe over reacting to something that is not a problem. The "Other" designation covers anything beyond audio, movie, photo, apps, and backups. That still leaves a sizeable chunk of files that represent OSX and system related software that can't be classified into of the specific groups. If you're referring to something like the attached, it's normal:
