If you don't do this correctly, you could leave traces of your data, which poses all the risks that entails. In this tutorial, I'll guide you step-by-step through how to format your Mac, restore it to factory settings, and securely and permanently erase everything. Why is it important to erase a Mac? If you're selling or returning your Mac, it's essential to restore it to its factory settings for two main reasons: to protect your privacy and to allow the new user to start fresh. If you don't erase your Mac correctly, you risk leaving behind sensitive information that could be easily recovered. That's why it's crucial to do everything right. Before beginning the erase, the first step is to make a complete backup of your data. You can use Time Machine, which is macOS's built-in backup system, or a cloud storage service like iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive. If you have particularly important files, such as documents or photos, make sure to back them up securely. After completing the backup, you can proceed with the erase. Another crucial step is to log out of all your accounts, especially iCloud. To do this, go to System Preferences and select Apple ID. Then, click Overview and select Sign Out. This step is important because it removes the device from your iCloud account and prevents the new owner from accessing your data. Once you've signed out of iCloud and backed up your data, follow the video to see the step-by-step process we used to factory reset your M1 Mac Mini and prepare it for sale. Once the reinstallation is complete, your Mac will display the initial setup screen. At this point, your Mac is ready to be sold or returned. If you're selling your Mac, you can leave this setup screen so the new owner can set it up as if it were a new Mac. Format a Mac before selling or returning it is a simple but essential process. Following these steps will help you securely erase all your information and restore your device to its factory state, ready for a new user.
