Time Capsule help

You just go into the airport utility app and in the disk tab click erase and rename if you want. That will give you the original drive format. But you will lose your data, so backup.

 

If the sparsebundle file you're talking about is one you created (and it sounds like this is the case), I'm more than 99% sure you can just right-click and delete it. I've added and deleted my own files to the TC internal drive and they've never affected the backups. However, none of those happened to be sparsebundle files. I don't think it makes a difference, though -- my understanding is that the .sparsebundle format is just another disk image format.

I'm curious why your experimental file was only accessible from 1 machine? I've put regular files there and accessed them from Windows XP, etc. Of course only Macs could access .sparsebundle files but any other Macs you own should be able to do that.

I needed to merge 2 folders with the same name, but it just copied new version and I lost the old version folder. How can I recover this old folder? How come this doesn't use the merge option?? many thanks, hopefully you can help me recover my important files...
