Prune Snapshots

Delete old snapshots by retention policy (count, age, or type).

When to use

Freeing BTRFS disk space consumed by snapshots

Enforcing automatic retention limits

Cleaning up pre/post pair remnants

Inputs to gather

Snapper config name

Retention policy: one of:

keep-last <N> (retain N newest snapshots)
older-than <X> days
type <single|pre|post> (filter by type)

Procedure

Preflight: Verify snapper is installed and config exists.

Run sudo snapper -c <config> list --csvout to enumerate snapshots.

Filter snapshots by policy (date, type, or rank).

Display the snapshots to be deleted (ID, date, description). Request confirmation.

On confirmation: Run sudo snapper -c <config> delete <ids> for each ID.

Run sudo btrfs filesystem usage <mount> before and after to report reclaimed space.

Output / side effects

Snapshots deleted. Displays freed space estimate.

Safety / constraints

Destructive. Always show deletion list first; require confirmation. Requires sudo.
