How to format macOS
steps
1-Back up your data. Formatting your Mac will erase all of your data, so make sure you’ve backed up everything you want to keep. See How to Back Up a Mac to learn how to save your files to Time Machine or iCloud.
2-Turn on your Mac and press ⌘ Command+R. If your Mac is already turned on, reboot it and press this key combination as soon as it turns back on. This boots your Mac into Recovery Mode.
3-Select Disk Utility. It’s the last option on the /”macOS Utilities/” window.
4-Click Continue. It’s at the bottom-right corner.
5-Click the View menu. It’s in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
6-Click Show All Devices. This displays all disks connected to your Mac in the left panel.
7-Select the disk you want to format. For example, if you want to format your primary drive on which macOS is installed, you’ll select the first disk at the top of the list (under /”Internal/”).
8-Click the Erase button. It’s near the top-center part of the window.
9-Select your formatting details.
Name: Enter a name to identify the hard drive.
Format: Unless you have a specific reason not to do so, leave the default format of your internal hard drive as APFS.
Scheme: Select Choose GUID Partition Map.
10-Click Erase to format the disk. You may be asked to verify your Apple ID or password. Once the disk is erased and formatted, you’ll return to the Disk Utility list.
11-Close Disk Utility. You can do this by clicking the red circle at the top-left corner of the window.
If you want to reinstall macOS on this drive, just boot back into Recovery Mode by pressing Control + R at startup, and then select Reinstall macOS (to start from scratch) or Restore From Time Machine Backup (if you backed up the OS to Time Machine).
