On my iMac, I'm attempting to wipe my Fusion Drive. I receive the following error when I erase "container disk3": The volume “...” couldn’t be unmounted because it is in use by process 673. Alas, the Erase button on the Fusion Drive is greyed off. I can see the following on the side panel: Fusion Drive > Container disk3 > Macintosh HD > Macintosh HD - Data > Bootcamp. In this scenario, what should I do? In addition, considering that I have a Time Machine backup from Catalina and a backup of my files on an external hard drive formatted in MacOS Extended Journaled, which format should I choose—APFS or MacOS Extended Journaled?
