Boot from your OSX DVD, and then you can select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu after choosing the language. Using Disk Utility you can erase your hard disk before installing OSX again...

Memory refers to RAM, storage is hard drive space, aka what your current issue is.

and yeah, wipe your internal drive using disk utility from an OSX boot disk/stick
