Jun 19, 2013 9:37 PM in response to davibicudoby Pondini,Time Machine won't delete anything besides the sparse bundle.
So it sounds like either the entire disk directory was corrupted, or the disk itself is failing.
You might try power-cycling the TC. That should trigger a directory repair, per the Verifying a Time Capsule disk section in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4522 That may take quite a while.
If that works, by all means copy that other data elsewhere ASAP.
It's not a good idea to mix Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's internal disk, as there will be conflicts over available space, sooner or later.
And of course, unless you back it up somehow, you only have one copy of that data. When something bad happens, you risk losing it all.
