how do I erase the time capsule so that i have space to start new saves?

I recently migrated to a new computer. the time Capsule was working and backing up just fine. Now with the new computer when I tried to start the time capsule I was told that not enough memory was available. So that is why I am looking to clean it out and start fresh.

You may be using the newer Lion or Mountain Lion operating system on your Mac. If that is the case, AirPort Utility will look a bit different.


Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the box at appears

Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window

Click Erase Disk


The "Quick Erase" option will be fine for your purpose and it should only time a minute or two
