Cannot start since update. Old snapshots block lxd start

Hi,

Since:
last update (PureOs and snap install)

Problem:
LXC/LXD do not start.
No lxc command works, with:

"sudo journalctl -r -n 200 -b -g lxd" shows:
> Error: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": EOF
"sudo journalctl -r -n 200 -b -g lxd" shows:

SQL commands:
no finding about these pools

Context: “impool” and “lxd2” are two old pools that i lost from disk failure, then i reinstalled new pools on about 4 months ago. It looks that there is a “memory” of these 2 pools that blocking the system.

Tried:
restart computer, services
deleting the folders impool and lxd2 pools in /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/, but they reappear.
I found no way to manage the “storage_delete_old_snapshot_records”

Help ! Thanks for your help.

SOLUTION :

lxd sql global 'select * from storage_pools'
lxd sql global 'delete from storage_pools where id=x'
