Hey there,
thanks, for the reply, and excuse my explanation, I'll give it another shot:
The situation was the following: I had Espionage V2 installed on Snow Leopard and it was configured inside the Espionage preferences to do backups - no Time Machine was involved, the backup location was set to my Time Capsule HDD which functioned just as a network HDD - there was no Time Machine backup involved, I had not activated Time Machine at all.
Then along came OSX Lion with the improved File Vault - which was fine for me, so I did not need to use Espionage anymore. Therefore, to get my machine ready to upgrade to OSX Lion, I wanted to uninstall Espionage. So I restored the encrypted folders and then uninstalled Espionage. Which went totally fine.
However, what was left after the uninstallation of Espionage 2 was the backup folder on my Time Capsule HDD. Naturally, I wanted to delete that one as well, since I had no need for it anymore. However, this folder is corrupted (I'm not sure if that's the right expression for how that folder behaves) - I cannot delete it, I cannot open the folder in Finder - it doesn't give me an error, it just keeps on loading, and loading, and loading.
Like you know, the backup folder is several sub-folders deep, and at one point, before reaching the folder where there are 3 folders inside that say something like "THIS FOLDER IS CONTROLLED BY ESPIONAGE....", it stops in an endless loop of loading. The deepest I can get is one folder where it goes:
EspionageBackups->user->number->SyncServices-> endless loading. The other two folder stop at:
EspionageBackups->user->number->endless loading
So in a nutshell: After the uninstall of Espionage V2 I am stuck with a backup folder that cannot be opened, cannot be re-imported into Espionage after re-installation of Espionage, and cannot be deleted.
I hope this clarifies my situation?
