One can not Erase the macOS while it is operating. This document will help. Strongly suggest before attempting , make a Time Machine Backup AND Create a Bootable Installer of the version of macOS the computer is compatible with. One does not what to have a computer without any macOS on it and then try finding the way to reinstall.
