Our command line client, doctl would make deleting multiple snapshots from your account quite simple. To list all of your images, use:

doctl compute image list-user

This allows you to retrieve their image IDs. Using the IDs, you could write a small script to delete in bulk:

#!/bin/bash

for i in 123456 789012; do
    doctl compute image delete "$i"
done

If you wanted to delete all the snapshots on your account, you could do something like:

#!/bin/bash

doctl compute image list-user -o json | jq -c '.[] | select(.type == "snapshot") | .id' | while read i; do
    doctl compute image delete "$i"
done

Of course, our API also supports deleting images. There are libraries in a number of different languages as well.

You can open your browser console and paste this command:

document.querySelectorAll('.dropdown-view--delete button').forEach(function(button,i){if(i) button.click();});

This will delete all snapshots from the current page except the very first one.

For people that don’t use the API this is a big problem. I think DO should make this feature available from their control panel or at least be able to do this when a Support Ticket is raised.

Unfortunately I raised a ticket and was told that DO will not do this on my behalf and I would need to delete each one manually. That’s going to take quite a bit of time.

There is a feature request here but I doubt it’ll be available in time for the start of the Snapshot billing:

The for loop asb was helpful for my needs.
