When I power on my computer ( 2013 imac ) with ubunut 20.04

The default os is right away GRUB command. I did some boo boos and would like to make it boot up normal. And want to reinstall ubuntu as I accidently erased python.

What are the steps to wipe the drive and start over? The Mac OS is erased so it's just Ubuntu

I don't see anything in the description that would require a special "wipe the drive."

  • The term "wipe" often means a process of making data unrecoverable, which is not necessary for most users. You're not a bank or government preventing theft of sensitive information, so it seems unlikely you meant that process in this case.

Simply boot from any Ubuntu USB installer and follow the prompts to reinstall Ubuntu. The normal Ubuntu installer will re-format your system's storage device (drive), allowing you to start clean.

If you still have your original USB installer, you can use that. Or you can make a new one. They all work.
