Delete a snapshot

$ qm delsnapshot 100 snapshot_name

$ qm delsnapshot 100 snapshot_name --force 1

qm delsnapshot vmid snapname [options]

qm delsnapshot deletes virtual machine snapshots in Proxmox VE. Snapshots capture the VM state at a point in time and can be removed when no longer needed to reclaim storage space.
The force option allows removing snapshot references from configuration even if the underlying disk snapshot cannot be deleted.

--force 1|0

Force deletion from config even if disk snapshot removal fails

Deleting snapshots is irreversible. Ensure the snapshot is no longer needed before deletion. Force deletion may leave orphaned disk data.
