Removing file system snapshot

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you remove an existing file system snapshot. A file system snapshot must be unmounted before it can be removed.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To remove a file system snapshot
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate and select the host.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Expand the host. Expand Volumes to locate and select the required volume. ClickSnapshots tab. Right-click on the selected unmounted file system snapshot and selectRemove.
    • Expand the host. Expand Volumes to locate and select the required volume. Right-click required volume and selectSnapshot>Remove FS Snapshot.
  4. If you launch the operation to remove the file system snapshot in the context of volumes, then in the Remove File System Snapshot wizard panel, specify the details required. Click OK.
