Clean Install

[Jonr515]

How do I completely wipe my SSD and start over with a clean OS install?

Internet recovery could be your best choice. The only downside is you will install the system shipped with your Mac, not the latest version.

Does that completely wipe the drive? If it installs the shipped OS do I just have to do the upgrade once the install is complete?

Thanks!

Once in recovery mode, use disk utility to erase (format) the SSD. Then exit Disk Utility, and install the OS.
