Errors when creating or deleting a VM snapshot

[Balcony7199]

Hello, I was trying to create a snapshot of my only vm on proxmox before trying to resize it since I accidentally gave it 3000gb instead of 300 but the snapshot duration time was taking a long time so I stopped it but saw the snapshot is still there so I tried to remove it only for the vm to get locked as a result. I unlocked it from the shell console but it keeps locking itself again when I try to delete the snapshot again and giving me this: command '/usr/bin/qemu-img snapshot -d Immich_VM /mnt/pve/server/images/100/vm-100-disk-0.qcow2' failed: exit code 1

I turned off my vm before trying to delete it in case of any potential issues before getting that error message yet I ran into said error still.
One other attempt at deleting the snapshot gave me this error instead though this isn't appearing for me currently: TASK ERROR: VM 100 qmp command 'blockdev-snapshot-delete-internal-sync' failed - Snapshot with id 'null' and name 'Immich_VM' does not exist on device 'drive-scsi0'

Any help with solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Balcony7199,

Welcome to the forums!

What filesystem is your VM on, and what is the storage layout?

In the mean time, how pressing is the issue? Do you still have access to the VM, or is it locked in turned off state? Do you have a backup of the photos if worst comes to worst?

Hello, my VM is running on ubuntu server and format is btrfs I believe if that's what you mean by file system but I'll attach a screenshot of the system below showing the distribution of storage if that helps.

It's not too pressing for me, the server is a family media server I built (my first and only server so far) so that my mom and siblings can view family memories whenever they want to. I have backups of the media on that server on separate hard drives so even if the vm gets corrupted then the worst thing for me is spending a few days rebuilding the server setup to reupload those family images and videos into it. I am able to access the VM still, I just have to unlock it in proxmox and then make it turn on, then I can access what's inside it like normal still.
