Delete sparse bundle from Time Capsule

When I try to delete a sparse bundle backup I get the following error message - "The operation can’t be completed because the item “bands” is in use."

Running Mojave 10.14.6 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)

NOTE: I have already tried 'Move to Trash' while holding down the Control key. It doesn't work... I get same message
