Hi StephenB
I tried the first method and got:
btrfs subvolume delete MediaOld/.snapshots/35/snapshot

Any other ideas?
Thanks

Tried mulitple versions and I always get a variant of:
ERROR: cannot access subvolume data/MediaOld/.snapshots: No such file or directory
FYI this is the response I get to: btrfs subvolume list /data
ID 1235 gen 173532 top level 267 path MediaOld/.snapshots/35/snapshot
ID 1490 gen 174402 top level 267 path MediaOld/.snapshots/78/snapshotThanks
