i've found 10TO of disk usage under "Others".

i think is because i modify recently 10To of my data in volume 1 and i have a snapshot task

so i remove the snapshot task but the 10TO other don't remove

how delete all this older snapshot files ?

thanks

for information, i use TOS 6 beta on T4 -424 pro

You need to remove the snapshots (from the snapshot list) before you delete the task.

Recreate the task with EXACTLY the same name. Go back to the snapshot list and delete snapshots (I try and do most recent first).

If you have created/deleted previous tasks you may need to recreate them as well. You can get the task names from the Volume @snapshot or @sysSnapShoot folders depending on which snapshots you have used.

Do not try and delete the actual snapshots. They can only be delete via the GUI due to (logical) protections. {You don't want any miscreant messing with snapshots) :mrgreen:
