Being charged for a snapshot that is not visible in UI

Posted on July 4, 2025

Hello,

I’m currently being billed for a Droplet Snapshot: “88serverbackup-1gb-sfo1-01-1549623150160 (sfo1)”

However, I can’t find it in my Snapshots tab or any of my projects. Can someone from the DigitalOcean team help me locate and delete it?

Thank you.

Heya, @frontiis

If you’re being billed for a snapshot that you can’t find, it usually means the snapshot still exists in your account somewhere, even if it’s not attached to a Droplet. Sometimes snapshots are under a different project or they don’t show up correctly due to a UI issue.

The support team can locate and delete it for you and ensure you’re not billed for a snapshot you can’t access.

Regards
