I have intel MacBook Pro 2018. I want to clean install BigSur. I watched lots of videos and read some tutorials. The process seems easy till the point of erasing/formating disc. I have 3 option:

Apple SSD -> Container disc 1 -> Mackintosh HD. I also have Bootcamp which I don’t want to touch.

In most videos I saw people erase main disc - Apple SSD. Some erase Mackintosh HD or container. I was thinking it would be good idea to erase container coz it includes not only Mackintosh HD but also VM and also 2 not mounted (whatever it means). Now after reading all the posts here I’m not sure and I would rather erase only Mackintosh HD. I would appreciate any suggestions.
