Good morning,


These steps erase all of the data stored on the drive in your AirPort Time Capsule. Don't use these steps unless you're sure you no longer need this data.

Open AirPort Utility.

Select your AirPort Time Capsule in the AirPort Utility window.

Click the Edit button that appears.

In the Edit window, click the Disks tab.

Select the AirPort Time Capsule drive that you want to erase.

Click the Erase Disk button.


From an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Join the Wi-Fi network your Time Capsule is connected to.
