Destroying a droplet does not delete the snapshots.

This doesn’t seem true anymore: Just deleted a droplet, and it seems the snapshot is also gone…

Just go to the Images tab. You’ll see snapshots and backups there.

  Now there is a now question - how to delete a snapshot of already destroyed droplet? There is no “delete” button on Images/Snapshots/Droplets screen.
