Snapshots taking a lot of space but all snapshots are disabled.
I have two Readynas 316 boxes. I have disabled all snapshots on all shares. I have removed all snapshots from the shares. The problem is one box is reporting 1.8 TB of shapshots and the other is repo...

Found it.
Using btrfs command to delete the subvolum.
btrfs subvol delete /data/._share/name-of-folder/.snapshot/name-of-subfolder

Yes, that was the thread. I'm not sure why It didn't show when I posted. Anyway, the commands
# touch /.force_snapshots_upgrade # systemctl restart readynasd
worked on one box but not the other. I believe it's because those shares don't exist any longer. So, it boils down to how to delete directories with thousands of files that are also read only?

Can you send in a fresh set of logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Logs sent. I'm pretty sure I sent the logs from the same box as last time.

The space on the data volume is no longer fully allocated.
You've still got snapshots etc. under /data/.purge that you may wish to deal with.For snapshots not under .purge normally you'd use snapper to delete.
