Hello @Kalaimani Thirupathi - Thanks for reaching out.

In order to delete the selected snapshot of more than 30days, below is the script :

> Get-AzSnapshot |  
> Where-Object TimeCreated -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30).ToUniversalTime() |  
> Remove-AzSnapshot

Try running the command without Remove-AzSnapshot first to confirm what will be deleted is accurate.

Hope this helps.

Use the

-Confirm:$false

and

-Force

parameters with

Remove-AzSnapshot

cmdlet to suppress the confirmation (use these at your own risk).

The above cmd should work for you to generate a snapshot for more than 30days. Use the -Confirm:$false and -Force parameters with Remove-AzSnapshot cmdlet to suppress the confirmation.
