# DeleteSnapshot
<a name="API_DeleteSnapshot"></a>

Deletes an Amazon FSx for OpenZFS snapshot. After deletion, the snapshot no longer exists, and its data is gone. Deleting a snapshot doesn't affect snapshots stored in a file system backup. 

The `DeleteSnapshot` operation returns instantly. The snapshot appears with the lifecycle status of `DELETING` until the deletion is complete.
