Delete snapshots that are no longer needed to reclaim storage spaces.
Constraints
- Deleting a snapshot will permanently delete its data.
- The deletion of automatically generated snapshots is subject to the following constraints:
- While automatic snapshot creation is enabled, the system automatically deletes snapshots on the nearest half hour after their retention period expires.
- After automatic snapshot creation is disabled, existing auto-created snapshots will not be deleted automatically, but they can be deleted manually.
- If automatic snapshot creation is re-enabled, the system resumes automatic deletion of all auto-created snapshots upon expiration, including these created before automatic snapshot creation was previously disabled.
