to clarify new snapshots take VERY little space [the cost/benefit of disabling completely is not good] to check for orphaned snapshots compare results of sudo snapper list sudo btrfs subvolume list / when you do snapper list, check the oldest date (ignore the one corresponding to sudo btrfs sub get-default / ) if all this checks out look elsewhere - core dumps, log files etc On 23 March 2018 at 21:14, Patrick Shanahan <paka@opensuse.org> wrote:

Hi all,
I want to get rid of snapshots, because they filled my / volume. I ran snapper delete, and limited the number of snapshots to 1, and disabled snapper in yast2 config. I got only very little space back. If I understood well what I read to physically remove files from /.snaphots, I would need to run suse.de-snapper and btrfs-balance found in /etc/cron.daily and cron.weekly directories. But I do not have any of them. Where are they? I use Tumbleweed with KDE.
Thanks, Albert

if you actually disabled snapshots, there should be non. aiui, the space utilized by the snapshots will not show a change until the filesystem is renewed, this may be wrong. have you rebooted
never heard of suse.de-snapper
did you look at /.snapper to see if the snapshots were removed?
grep -r btrfs /etc/cron.*/* reveals no files with btrfs in their names on my systems
ps: snapshots are a good thing. saved me twice when updates were interrupted. how many snapshots did you have? did you limit the remaining space available for snapshots? how much space did you allocate to the root file system? limiting snapshots to "1" is counter-productive, imnsho.

ps2: I assume you are utilizing Tumbleweed. conversation re: Tumbleweed is generally on opensuse-factory list.
