how do i delete someone elses backup off my time machine...

[smalls1987]

so i bought a time capsule last month and backed up my macbook on it.. (love it btw). but anyway my roomate also has a macbook and i let him back it up on my time capsule as well... now were both moving to different locations and i want to get rid of his backup to allow for more space.. how do i do this from my macbook?... is it possible?

if not would i have to reset it? or maybe get him to get rid of it on his macbook?.. (he would give me a hard time so id rather be able to just delete his stuff myself, and hes taking up significantly more space on it than i am so i want it off)

Thank you very much

I don't have Time Machine set up, but just wanted to try to help. In System Prefs, go to Time Machine, then go to Options:


Does his HD or files show up here? Also go to the Change Disk window and see if you can remove his HD.

Open the network drive in Finder. Find his sparsebundle, and delete it.
