It seems that "nodetool listsnapshots" is unreliable????? 1. when issued, nodetool listsnapshots reports there are no snapshops. 2. when navigating through the filesystem, one can see clearly that there are snapshots 3. when issued, nodetool clearsnapshot removes them!
Some sanitized evidence below. Is "nodetool listsnapshots" broken or it is user error?
