I am trying to update my OS, it is not working getting errors saying check conversations or decryption process is not finished. My MacBook has been decrypting for 7 days, 7 DAYS. I have tried, repairing, verifying, command R and back up. Nothing. I tried terminal and deleting long numbers. Nothing works. My computer is moving super super super slow. The laptop is empty, no files , so if someone can walk me through the reforming. I even tried reformatting the hard drive, but it say that the computer needs to finish the decrypting process, oh yea, it's been 7 days. Help

Less then 500
Which model of MacBook and which operating system. Let it decrypt full. Keep the display to sleep and let decrypt run overnight. Don't sleep using apple menu, use hot corners sleep option.
