FlexGroups - How do you delete a Snapshot

Good day all,

Have not had any luck in finding ways to delete snapshots from a FlexGroup and how do you disable the default snapshot schedule just for the FlexGroup and it's constituents. Any suggesstions would be most helpful.

Thank you

Unless I'm missing some larger issue here, this worked for me as far as deleting the snapshot....

clusterA::> snapshot delete -vserver SVM01 -volume Test1 -snapshot hourly.2018-04-19_1005
