Hello taxi-anne,
If you want to erase the MacBook Air and start fresh, these steps from Erase and reinstall macOS - Apple Support should help:
On a Mac with Apple silicon or an Intel-based Mac with the Apple T2 Security Chip
Your computer must be connected to the internet. If you’re reinstalling on a Mac laptop, plug in the power adapter.
1. Erase your Mac using Erase Assistant.
2. Restart your Mac.
3. Choose Apple menu > Shut Down, press and hold the power button until “Loading startup options” appears, select Options, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.
4. In the Recovery app window, select Reinstall for your macOS release, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Have a good day.
