Then you can shut down the computer and hand it off to whomever wants it next. (Apps you installed may remain on the drive, but unless you were storing important files outside of your personal user folder-which isn’t usually the case-things should be fine.) But once it’s done and you can quit out of the System Preferences app, your most important stuff has been wiped out. You may need to wait a while for the secure deletion to succeed, or it may be nigh-instantaneous. Select your personal account (the one you just logged out of) and click the minus button in the bottom left corner of the list of users.Ĭhoose “Delete the home folder” and “Erase home folder securely”. Go back to the Users & Groups pane in the System Preferences app, and click the lock to unlock again. Log back into the MacBook as the new user you just created. (Again, be sure you’ve already transferred your data elsewhere.) Once the new user is created, log out of your MacBook. For the password hint, consider a phrase like “the name of this user is also the password.” We’re not looking for security here.
