So I recently used the disk utility to erase my hard drives as they were full and were slowing down my Mac by A LOT
Now whenever I try to turn my Macbook Pro on, I am led to the recovery page even without pressing cmd+R.
When I try to reinstall the OS, after I'm prompted to enter my apple ID it just says "this task cannot be performed" or something along those lines.
Has anyone else encountered this? How do I fix it? Is it even an OS issue?
It's a 2011 MacBook Pro if I'm not wrong.
