    Thank you! I needed to undo my transfer from an old mac to my new one and I didn't know how to until I came across this and was able to start fresh lol. Too much junk on my old mac. I should have never bothered to even transfer it. Anyways, this video was a great help! Easy instructions, easy to follow.

    For those who can't install mac os because there isn't enough space even after erasing the disk, Open the disk utility and erase the "Macintosh HD - Data" volume as well and it should free up all of the disk space
