Maybe I'll just check with the owner though and see if it's ok to just
empty it

 The first thing you should do with any used computer or computing device
is wipe it and install a fresh operating system.
 How do you know there isn't malware, spyware, or child porn on it?
 Answer: You don't know. So you should find or make a bootable macOS
installation CD/DVD, boot on it, erase the startup drive completely, and
install a fresh OS on it before using it.
 

Yep. that's what I did
Drive is now totally erased and re-loaded
