Can't delete snapshots which doesn't exist

lxc info is telling me this:

Snapshots:

If I try to delete with lxc delete server/backup08062019
following appears:

lxc delete server/backup08062019
Error: not found

Is there a way to delete it? I can’t mount with snapd because it isn’t installed on my archlinux system…

Helped myself by:

sudo lxd sql global “DELETE FROM instances_snapshots WHERE name=‘debian-backup09062019’;”
sudo lxd sql global “DELETE FROM instances_snapshots WHERE name=‘backup08062019’;”

issue can be closed now.

Glad to hear you fixed it. I’d be interested to know where the actual snapshot went though, did you delete it manually at the storage layer?

I did delete them earlier … but there was some strange behaviour … a error occured there and then i looked into the storage layer and saw that the backups weren’t there anymore but still in the database.

I entered lxc delete before then it took a very long time and then it showed a error. but can’t tell you anymore which one this was… was a while ago…

OK thanks, if it does occur again please let us know.
