You can delete a snapshot when you no longer need its data or when the number of snapshots exceeds the limit. Snapshots can be deleted individually or in batches.

Prerequisites

Only snapshots with an "Available" or "Fail" status can be deleted. Snapshots with the status "Creating" or "Rolling back" cannot be deleted.

Notes

Deleting a snapshot from a specific time point does not affect snapshots taken at other times.

Deleting the source volume does not automatically remove manual snapshots.

Deleted snapshots cannot be recovered.
