Snapshots showing in GUI but not in share
We previously had an issue after updating the firmware to 6.9.5 that caused the share to be "unlinked" from the GUI. To resolve this, we created a new share and copied the data over.

Looking over this, I think we never used correct full path when triying to delete.
This should work.
# btrfs subv delete /data/Shared_Data/.snapshots/12260/snapshot

I tried several different variations of the following
# btrfs subvolume delete -c /Shared_Data/.snapshots
Also, when browsing through windows i can see the .purge folder but not .snapshots

It doesn't for me either. Is your share configured set to "Allow Snapshot Access"? Mine are not - though I do enable "Allow access to Windows Previous Versions".
But you can't delete the snapshots from Windows, even if you can see them.

Odd. What happens if you try to browse into the folder?
One approach is to use the "nuclear" option - delete the volume (or reset the NAS) and restore the data from backup. Painful, but it will resolve it.

I'm trying to avoid this if possible as 6tb will take all weekend to restore.
