I agree that adding a -f requirement and/or an interactive prompt is not
a good solution. As has already been pointed out, my suggestion is
different.
Apparently (and I'm not sure where this is documented), you can 'rmdir'

What about having dedicated commands destroysnapshot, destroyclone,

That thread really did quickly move to arguments about confirmations and
their usefulness or annoyance.
I think the idea presented of adding
Hey, that's nothing, I had one zfs file system, then I cloned it, so I
thought that I had two separate file systems. then I was making snaps
of both of them. Then later on I decided I did not need original file
