Turning off Timemachine does not restore disk space
Hello,
I have had Timemachine turned on with 1000GB as storage. Now I decided to turn it off as I've never used it and the ReadyNAS has it's own snapshop functionality.
But the disk space isn't restored. What do I need do to?

- yiou'll probably need to remove the sparsebundle file. Have you rebooted the NAS after turning off the timemachine?
(a) Browse to the following URI in your preferred browser, replacing [ReadyNAS] with the IP address or hostname of your ReadyNAS and replacing [volume] with your volume name (default “data”)
Note: Do not include the brackets []. These are included for visibility.
https://[ReadyNAS]/admin/browse.html#path=%2F[volume]%2F.timemachine
(b) If prompted for login use your normal web interface credentials
(c) Select the appropriate sparse bundle and click the “Delete” button:
- Thank you very much!
