I've somehow lost macintosh HD off my computer I can't format because it's partitioned and now it's saying not enough space on hard drive.
If anyone out there who could make me a bootable el captain that I could re install on my computer I would be very grateful also I would pay for the postage and the usb.
Please 🙏 help
 
You should still be able to access Recovery Mode and won't need a copy of the OS to reinstall:

Start up your Intel-based Mac in macOS Recovery​

  1. Restart your Mac.
  2. Immediately press and hold one of the following key combinations until you see the startup screen:
    • Command-R: Start up from the built-in macOS Recovery System. Use this key combination to reinstall the latest macOS that was installed on your system, or to use the other apps in macOS Recovery.
    • Option-Command-R: Start up from macOS Recovery over the internet. Use this key combination to reinstall macOS and upgrade to the latest version of macOS that’s compatible with your Mac.
    • Option-Shift-Command-R: Start up from macOS Recovery over the internet. Use this key combination to reinstall the version of macOS that came with your Mac or the closest version that’s still available.
  3. If you see a lock, enter the password for your Mac.
  4. If you have multiple volumes on your disk, select the volume you want to recover, then click Next.
  5. If requested, choose an administrator account, click Next, enter the password for the account, then click Continue.
