Delete snapshots using Azure NetApp Files

You can delete snapshots that you no longer need to keep.

Important

The snapshot deletion operation cannot be undone. A deleted snapshot cannot be recovered.

Considerations

• You can't delete a snapshot if it is part of an active file-restore operation or if it is in the process of being cloned.
• You can't delete a replication generated snapshot that is used for volume baseline data replication.

Steps

1. Go to the Snapshots menu of a volume. Right-click the snapshot you want to delete. Select Delete.

   

2. In the Delete Snapshot window, confirm that you want to delete the snapshot by clicking Yes.
