  Thanks for your response. Firmware - 6.9.0 and the snapshots cover half of the data space.
  
  How can I delete the snapshots?
  
  Thanks

    Hi Eleniyan,
    
    You need to delete snapshots on Shares page by click "Snapshots" button next to "New share" button on top-right corner. Then right click snapshots of your share to delete them.
    
    If you don't want to keep the data of your share also, you can delete your share directly. This will also delete its snapshots. Then you can create new share to store your datas.
    
    Best Regards.
