Removing snapshots not possible

[JohnD]

Hello everybody,

i have a Proxmox 5.1 server running and i want to remove snapshots of a VM that makes a lot of trouble.

I tried to do it with the eve4pve-autosnap clean function but my server crashed and now i have a lot of snapshots in proxmox without existing ZFS snapshots.

How can i get rid of these snapshots?

I always get:

Task viewer: VM 103 - Delete Snapshot

OutputStatus

Stop
TASK ERROR: zfs error: could not find any snapshots to destroy; check snapshot names.

Thanks in advance...

eve4pve-autosnap is not part of PVE and thus not supported here..

Ok then just think of a slightly different situation.
I created a snapshot with proxmox gui and accidentally deleted the zfs snapshot.
How can i get rid of the proxmox snapshot entry?

# pct help delsnapshot
USAGE: pct delsnapshot <vmid> <snapname> [OPTIONS]

  Delete a LXC snapshot.

  <vmid>     <integer> (1 - N)

             The (unique) ID of the VM.

  <snapname> <string>

             The name of the snapshot.

  -force     <boolean>

             For removal from config file, even if removing disk snapshots
             fails.

# qm help delsnapshot

Thanks. That worked.

Had this same issue recently; turned out that it was still in config file. The result ended up looking like

qm delsnapshot 101 Test_snapshot -force true
