[SOLVED] PVE, Snapshot unsuccessful stopped, how to remove?

[Jackobli]

Hello there
Tried to do a snapshot on a large vm with 160G RAM including it, but was in a hurry.
So I tried to stop it, but the host came into unsresponsive and needed to restartet.
After that, the snapshot was still visible and while trying to delete, it ended after removing with:
Removing image: 98% complete...
Removing image: 99% complete...
Removing image: 100% complete...done.
TASK ERROR: VM 139 qmp command 'blockdev-snapshot-delete-internal-sync' failed - Snapshot with id 'null' and name 'before_upgrade_20240926' does not exist on device 'drive-scsi0'

I don't see any leftovers on the Storage.
But the config file / gui shows still the snapshot.

Can I just edit the config file (vim/etc/pve/qemu-server/139.conf) and remove the part with the snapshot?
Do I need to stop the vm first?

Regards, Urs

If there really is nothing more,

Can I just edit the config file (vim/etc/pve/qemu-server/139.conf) and remove the part with the snapshot?

then yes.

Do I need to stop the vm first?

No.

Thank you, the vm still was locked from the unsuccessful removal of the snapshot.
needed to "qm unlock <vmid>".
Now back to normal ops.
Regards, happy weekend, Urs
