@edwardloveall , Hi, You will first need to click on “Images” in the top menu, then click Snapshots in the right hand side menu, you will see the X button against the snapshots you may have created.

My suggestion, @kamaln7 would be to have the X button appearing also within “Droplets >> Snapshots .. else a link saying "Delete snapshots” leading to images >> snapshots

Press "Images" and then you'll se your snapshots to the right.

No responses. Just wondering if anyone knows how to delete snapshots, as I've created a few, and my console is getting a bit cluttered. Thanks. :-)

You can delete snapshots with the (X) button, you just can't delete backups.

I see no X button in the snapshots area. To see the snapshots I need to click the Restore from Snapshot button, and if I click on a snapshot there is a blue rectangle for the snapshot, but no X button. There is an X button to delete the droplet, but none to drop a snapshot.

Backups are deleted automatically once your droplet is destroyed, so you will have to destroy your droplet to be able to delete the backups.
