Thanks Kir, yes just after posting my question I realized I misunderstood
the output from snapshot-list and also the snapshot without a UUID was
actually a snapshot to be deleted.
Thanks also for the explanation of the difference between ploop and vzctl
snapshots, that will come in handy!
One thing I don't really understand, why isn't it possible to just delete
all snapshots with a single command? Like for example by using vzctl
snapshot VEID without --id would just delete all snapshots? I'm sure I
could whip up a script to do this using a combination of snapshot-list and
snapshot-delete, but why not just have that built in? Would there be any
security risk or is it very difficult to do?
