Hello again,
I decided to learn a bit about ssh so I logged on the nas via ssh, and did the command to force upgrade the snapshots to v6.80.
Then it made the snapshots to appear again, then I deleted them and redid a balance.
Snapshot place is now completely free =)
I am happy, issue solved =)
Hello JoeJinis,
You may perform a Volume Balance on the volume on your NAS and check if it will free up space. Please check the guide here.

Hello,
already did it, and it didn't liberate a single bit :o
I even lost the few remaining place I had xD
Snapshots : 743gb ....
But no snapshot is to be found anywhere :/
I deleted a lot of data, ~750GB, and more than half of that is now invisible snapshots, that starts to be REALLY boring. Is that so complicated to make an empty place empty? O_O I have now 1.36Tb data and 1.06Tb snapshots. That's stupid -.-
Hello JoeJinis,
It does appear performing Volume Balance did not made a difference. Next option would be contact support since the concern may require assistance from the engineers and/or higher tier who can remote in to the NAS and fix this from the backend.
