I wanted to delete old TimeMachine backups and I seem to have done it the wrong way.

I deleted the shared folder under Privileges > Shared Folders, however the files seem to still be somewhere on my volume. At least there has been no change in disk usage and when I go to Volume > Usage Details, there is a 2.11 TB part shown as "Other". A restart didn't solve this.

Trying to restore the shared folders under Privileges > Shared Folders > Advanced Settings didn't restore the deleted TimeMachine share. The share is no longer listed under Backup > TimeMachine Backup.

Is there a way for me to somehow access the files from the deleted share in order to delete them properly?

Thanks in advance!

If you have snapshots enabled (for that shared folder/volume) the snapshot will still be there and, given that the original files are "deleted", the original data space will be retained in case an "undelete" is needed.
