[QUOTE="pettycash, post: 1899268, member: 347736"] It is MBP 2014 but the most recent macOS is Big Sur. I was supposed to erase the data disk but happened to read that article; thus, I decided to erase the volume. As a result, I could not access the disk any longer and had it erased (as all the options were greyed out). But I still saw there were a lot files there. There seems to be a contradiction in terms of what to do and the availability of files afterwards. Does it make sense? I know I can reinstall the original macOS, but would it help to access the existing data, if any? Or, were all the data gone already? [/QUOTE]
