Delete a Snapshot

Unlike deleting a volume, deleting a snapshot has no impact on the original volume. Only the data on the snapshot is lost.

You cannot delete a snapshot while it is online or has a clone. Delete any clones and set the snapshot to offline before you delete it.

  1. Choose Manage → Data Storage.
  2. Click the volume whose snapshot you want to delete.
  3. Click the Data Protection tab.
    Grey icons indicate which snapshots are offline and green icons indicate which snapshots are online.
  4. (Optional) If the snapshot you want to delete is online, select it, then click Set Offline.
  5. Select one or more offline snapshots in the list, then click the X icon to delete the snapshot.
  6. Click OK to confirm the action.
