      hm. Not sure whether this is the explanation. The volume of a
      snapshot of test04 would be named <b>test04/second</b> and not <b>test04-second</b>.
      (at least it is that scheme I get with '</font><tt>lxc storage
      volume list pool2'</tt><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">
      (and also is the naming scheme you use to delete snapshots)<br>
      <br>
      So, if that naming has some sort of relevance as you suspect It
      smells more like a bug then a feature<br>

      can't confirm that neither. My snapshots all have names like </font><tt>'pre-some_string</tt><font
      face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">' and have never seen any
      problem with that.<br>

Simple test

root@rapper:~# lxc init images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64 -p pool2 test04-second
Creating test04-second
root@rapper:~# lxc init images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64 -p pool2 test04
Creating test04
root@rapper:~# lxc delete test04
Error: Error deleting storage volume: Cannot remove a volume that has snapshots

Also renaming (moving) doesn't work for this one.

root@rapper:~# lxc move test04 test04-first
Error: Rename instance: Failed to run: lvrename /dev/rapper-vg2/containers_test04---second /dev/rapper-vg2/containers_test04--first---second: Existing logical volume "containers_test04---second" not found in volume group "rapper-vg2"

And what interesting is that you can only use a hyphen as a separator, not
an underscore.

root@rapper:~# lxc init images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64 -p pool2 test04_first
Creating test04_first
Error: Failed instance creation: Invalid instance name: Name can only contain alphanumeric and hyphen characters

Now I have to find a trick to mislead LXD so that the containers
can be deleted.

        <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi,

When I want to delete a container I'm getting this error

root@ijssel:~# lxc delete jenkins
Error: Error deleting storage volume: Cannot remove a volume that has snapshots

However, it has no snapshots.

root@ijssel:~# lxc info jenkins
Name: jenkins
Location: ijssel
Remote: unix://
Architecture: x86_64
Created: 2020/04/24 09:01 UTC
Status: Stopped
Type: container
Profiles: default

This is on Ubuntu 20.04 with lxd 4.0.1 (14954) from snap.
The storage is lvm.

There is a little bit of history that is of interest.
I had a container, "jenkins-template", with a snapshot.
Then I did a "lxc copy" of that snapshot to a new container,
called "jenkins", the one that I'm trying to delete now.
In the meantime I have already deleted the snapshot of "jenkins-template",
because I thought that would help.
Now, there are no snapshots at all on the system. Still, the
delete gives me that error.
