Comment # 4 on bug 967148 from ill lume

"Because this is what you asked snapper to do."

I never asked snapper to fill up 15GB worth of space. I have already told
snapper to stop based off of a guide:
cat .bash_history |grep snapper 

sudo rm /etc/cron.hourly/suse.de-snapper 
rm suse.de-snapper 
sudo rm suse.de-snapper 

And it still causes the upgrade to fail until I remove the snapshots manually.
