Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit
Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window
Click Erase Disk
The Quick Erase option will be fine if you plan to keep the Time Capsule yourself and should only take a minute or two to erase the drive.
If the Time Capsule is going to another person, you should use the more secure Zero Out option. Allow 4-6 hours, on average, for this procedure to complete.
