Delete a Snapshot

While there is a free tier for snapshot storage, having a lot of snapshots can get confusing. Whether to safe on cost or to declutter, follow this guide on how to remove snapshots.

If you no longer require the snapshot, then you can easily delete the snapshots. You can delete versions, tenants and custom snapshots of any application. However, once you delete a snapshot, you will no longer be able to create a tenant based on that snapshot.

Note:  You cannot remove the latest snapshot of a version, since it's being used to provision your multi-tenant environments.

In this documentation, we will explore the steps to delete a snapshot.
