From plinth 0.47.0, snapshots will not fill up the disk completely and will always maintain a minimum of 30% free disk space. This makes a lot of feature suggestions that help users delete snapshots obsolete.
Also, snapshots might not be the only thing filling up the disk. It might be some other application like backups or federated applications. (Log rotation is implemented, so it won't be logs). We currently show warnings in the UI when the disk space is low but there is no indication yet on which application is taking up the most disk space and what the user can do about it.
