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 directoryI already tried the second method hence the share I'm trying to delete is called MediaOld
Any other ideas?
Thanks
