Yes, we need to perform a fresh installation of the operating system.

They suggest a fresh setup but warn it won’t work if you try to wipe your Mac.

I don't understand why you can't delete a Mac. You weren't aware of that.

Activate recovery settings. Press +r to power on your Mac. Confirm you're on a PC for accurate instructions. Enter recovery mode, then choose reinstall osx. Make sure you have an internet connection and your Apple ID and password ready. Downloading and installing OS X may take several hours depending on your speed.

You can definitely perform a complete system reset on a Mac. I’ve done a clean install myself after relocating from Yosemite to El Capitan, and it’s highly advised. Check out a guide for details.

Also, which MacBook are you using? Does it feature an HDD or an SSD?

It includes an M.2 drive; it's a MacBook Air model.
