Hi ET, Could you create a new user account / profile and then delete your account / profile which should give you the option to remove all data with that particular account?
Would think that to be easiest option. -----Original Message----- From: 'Harry Bell' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 11 January 2020 5:57 AM To: Groupgooglegroups Mac <[email protected]> Subject: Erasing data without reinstalling OS? I have an old MacBook 2009 running Mavericks which I want to give away to a blind friend. Is there a way of removing all my data without having to reinstall the OS? I no longer have a copy of Mavericks to use to reinstall the OS. Any help would be great! Thanks Harry -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
