Hi,

Admittedly this was dumb, I made a mistake and snapshotted a large virtual machine with a large data set, and then stopped it.

Instead of the Loadbalancer I was working on. Which would have instantly completed.

I need to remove the first disk snapshot I can see a .raw file - however it says I need to detach it in the hardware pain.

The hardware pain disk is greyed out.

The virtual machine is running and the data is there and correct.

Just need to get the VM in a healthy state.

Feel really daft - sorry :(
 
OK I think I've done this before - and was helped here ...doh this is getting worse.

So I just deleted the snapshot - and its still there - the orphaned disk is gone .. so I just delete the section with that snapshot name from the .conf file in /etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf ??
