Remove Time Machine from an external drive

Solved/Closed
jeremy1991 -  
Hello

I wanted to back up my disk to an external hard drive, and I would like to delete that backup.

But I erased my external hard drive, and after the erasure, I still have the Time Machine logo on my hard drive.

And I have less capacity on my hard drive.

Thank you

Configuration: Mac OS X / Firefox 3.6.3

    Good evening,

    You go to:

    System Preferences / Time Machine / Select Disk... and there you select "None"

    Best regards

      Hello,

      In the top left corner of your screen, there is an apple. Click on it and you will see the "System Preferences..." menu appear.

      Hello,

      I did this action in "System Preferences" but my external hard drive still shows that it is full and I can't find how to format it...

      Thank you in advance for your help and have a good day.
