Hey folks.
I recently bought a Mac g3, which works great. But it happens to have a bunch of files left over from the previous user. How can I reset the OS/burn a new CD boot drive to reset it?
Thanks.

You don't. It is necessary to purchase a full retail version of the operating system, and suggest you go for OS 9.2.1. Do not buy an upgrade disc or a sliver grey install DVD which are extremely model specific. Heklps mif you provide your location could have started a search for you.

I live in Sweden. So you can't burn your own disk?
