I want to do a new install of the OS on my iMac.
It came new with Lion and there are a few things (problems) going on and I would like to get it back to “factory” state so I can start over again.
I did the CMD-R at startup and picked the Reinstall Lion. When it was done a few hours later I was pretty much right back where I was before the re-install.
My Desktop, Icons and all my files were still there.
I was expecting to see the iMac, as it was when I received it new.
I am thinking I must have missed a step somewhere.
What procedure should I use to get the Mac back to a factor or out of the box state?
Thanks
