[lxc-users] Cannot remove a volume that has snapshots

[vrms]

I have seen the same error just recently as well. Actually the term 
"volume" never plaid any role in my lxd life before that and I am still 
not really aware what it actually represents and how it is related to 
snapshots.

I didn't dig into it because it was not so pressing at the moment and 
can't recall the exact details now but I think it was a very similar 
scenario then the one you describe here.

debian 9
lxd 4.0.1 (from snap)
