    Ok .. I hacked away on this for a couple of days now .. and only minutes after I posted this I solved it.

     

    I tried to delete the wrong folder 

    wrong - btrfs subvolume delete /data/VOLUME/.snapshots/1084

    correct - btrfs subvolume delete /data/VOLUME/.snapshots/1084/snapshot

     

    thanks guys .. for all the other articles on this forum

     

    cheers
