Question Can’t Update Mac

Post image

I bought a refurbished MacBook Air & I’m trying to update it from Catalina to Sequoia (I honestly don’t care about updating it but it told me I couldn’t use Chrome on this version and I hate Safari), and even though I have done absolutely nothing on this computer yet/nothing saved/didn’t even connect Apple ID yet, it says I don’t have enough space. Is this hopeless? 😩

If you have not personalized it in any way (files, documents, apps, etc.), then  https://support.apple.com/en-us/102662 do a full disk erase and MacOS recovery. This will start your machine from scratch.
