The actual formatting process only takes a few seconds. Generally you'll
want to boot in recovery mode which runs a separate stripped down
version of the OS, bring up disk utility, format the drive and then
install a fresh copy of OSX. You'll find lots of details on each of
these in the list archives but feel free to ask if you can't dig that up.

Hi, thanks.
i have nothing of important there.
Just wondering, is there a quicker way to remove content and user profile
without reformating the harddrive?

Depends on how safe you require. Usually just formatting the drive and
reinstalling the OS should get you there. Sure, it's possible that with the
right forensics software somebody could revive your files but is that really a
concern?
