Deleting a snapshot from a Snowball Edge with AWS OpsHub - AWS Snowball Edge Developer Guide

Deleting a snapshot from a Snowball Edge with AWS OpsHub

If you no longer need a snapshot, you can delete it from your device. The image file in Amazon S3 is a .raw file that is imported to your device as a snapshot. If the snapshot that you are deleting is used by an image, it can't be deleted. After import is completed, you can also delete the .raw file that you uploaded to Amazon S3 on your device.

To delete a snapshot
  1. Open the AWS OpsHub application.

  2. In the Start computing section on the dashboard, choose Get started. Or, choose the Services menu at the top, and then choose Compute (EC2) to open the Compute page. All your compute resources appear in the Resources section.

  3. Choose the Snapshot tab to see all snapshots that have been imported. You can filter by snapshot ID or state of the snapshot to find specific snapshots.

  4. Choose the snapshot that you want to delete, and choose Delete. You can choose multiple snapshots.
