In short. My mac blew up so I cant access Time Machine to delete all the data stored on my time Capsule. I have the Airport Utility app on my ipad, but I can only seem to reset factory settings, not wipe the disk! Any assistance is appreciated.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If the Time Capsule stored Time Machine backups for your Mac....and you plan to repair the Mac or buy a new Mac....you can use the backups to make your new Mac look just line your old Mac.
If you don't plan to do this, or you don't need any of the data on the Time Capsule drive, then you can erase the Time Capsule drive.
But, you will have to do this from a Mac or PC running AirPort Utility. It is not possible to erase the disk from AirPort Utility on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

Has this changed with the new Gen TC..??
I can erase my TC from iOS app.
Since I don't actually want to erase this particular TC I didn't go any further because I am not so familiar with the menus. 😉
You are right! My face is red. I was looking for Disks.
How can I delete all Time Capsule Data from an iPad?
