Delete a manual snapshot.

DELETE
/v1/projects/{projectId}/db/snapshots/{snapshotId}
Code sample: Shell / cURL
curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://stratum.example.com/v1/projects/example/db/snapshots/example \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Marks the snapshot deleting (202); the reconciler releases the volume snapshot and the snapshot’s WAL range. Automated snapshots are the retention’s to expire and go with their instance (409). Cedar-gated on db:DeleteDBSnapshot.

Accepted — the snapshot is deleting.

Media typeapplication/json

A consistent point of a database instance: a snapshot of the data volume taken while the engine held a backup open, plus the WAL range that makes it consistent. manual snapshots live until deleted; automated ones are taken daily in the backup window and expire with the retention.
