Hello!

I have a 2012 MBA. I recently upgraded to a Mac mini M1 and haven't use my MBA in about 2 months. I went to turn on the MBA and it shows a flashing file folder. I then booted into recovery mode->disk utility, and it seems the disk is mounted, and reading it's content. I tried to erase the drive(that is my goal from the start since I am getting rid of the computer) but it is greyed out. I tried First Aid in disk utility and no changes. I also just tried to reinstall an OS but at the point where it asks where to install it, the internal drive does not show up as an option. Ideas?
