It might be recomputing the quotas. I'd stay with the deletions (oldest snapshots first). You can delete more than one at a time.

I am in the process. They do delete but it takes forever for eachone to delete. At this rate it will take me the rest of the day to get them all deleted.

I got all those old ones deleted and everything is running smoothly now. The space from the snapshots hasn't been reclaimed though.

All the space is now reclaimed. Thanks for your help.

Hi fwdnetad,
Thanks for the update. You may now close this thread by clicking the "Accept as Solution" button in one of the responses that you received. In addition to what you did, it would also help if you will create a schedule maintenance for volume defragmentation and balance.
Kind regards,
