Can't logout iCloud iMac Pro Sonoma 14.0

Trying to sell my iMac Pro 2015 but unable to finish wiping it fully. Upgraded from Monterey to Sonoma because the Sign Out link greyed out. Still greyed out after update. Tried all the different methods but can't get it to allow me to Sign Out.

How can I fix this? Would a factory reset, non-disk utility get me back to start and then I wipe it out again after with Disk Util?

iMac Pro, macOS 14.0

Erase all settings and content hanging I am preparing to trade in my MacBook Pro 14”. I have tried erase all content from settings a couple times. The first time I had to enter Apple ID and find my is currently disabled but it did sign me out of iCloud and it just spun (see image). I was able to exit by reentering Apple ID and canceling on the warning pop up. The second time I signed out of iCloud before starting. Now it is simply spinning. I can access the disk and I see no change in space for over an hour. I don’t see any way to cancel. I’m not sure if I should force shutdown and risk other issues. Please advise. TIA.

Can not sign out of iCloud before selling my MAcBook Trying to sell my old MacBook Pro. I followed the instructions for selling a Mac, & was @ step 4 (Sign out of iCloud),but when I attempted to sign out of my iCloud on this device I keep going through a loop effect. I first signed in to my iCloud account, then was asked to log in the MB Pro, then clicked on the sign out of iCloud. I saw a screen to keep a copy of my iCloud data on this Mac, which I checked yes. Next a screen to save Safari passes, again yes. The next screen takes me back to the initial screen to sign in to iCloud. This keeps repeating ad nauseam. I have no idea what to do now. I'm including screen views of the steps. I hope this helps Any help is greatly appreciated. [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]

Can't sign out from Apple ID Hi! I'm on my private Mac trying to sign out from the Apple Id connected to my old workplace but it won't work. When clicking "sign out" it just jumps to the "icloud"-section. I've unchecked everything except Photos (where nothing happens when I try). What should I do? (I've tried to restart the computer and turn off screen time)
