Snapshot and delete after some time

[arky_]

I want to update a certain element of my virtual reality, but I am concerned whether the update will be successful. That's why I want to take a snapshot in case something goes wrong so I can come back then.
My question, can I safely remove such a snapshot later without fear of losing any data?
And my second question is whether I can delete earlier (a few days or months ago) snapshots in different virtual machines?

Hi,
yes, you can safely remove snapshots. That doesn't affect current state of the VM or other snapshots. If you are worried about data loss, always keep a restore-tested backup ready.
