    rm won't work.  You used the full path name on the btrfs command (/data ...) ?

Do you see the snapshots (via ssh) when you enter btrfs subvolume list /data ?

    Yes, there are two old snapshots listed in the share I want to delete but I can't see them when I login normally

      You could try deleting them via ssh (btrfs subvolume delete <path> )

       

      Another approach is to copy the share to a new one, delete the original, and then rename the new one.

        Hi StephenB

        I tried the first method and got:

        btrfs subvolume delete MediaOld/.snapshots/35/snapshot
        ERROR: cannot access subvolume MediaOld/.snapshots/35/snapshot: No such file or directory

        I already tried the second method hence the share I'm trying to delete is called MediaOld

        Any other ideas?

        Thanks
