Powershell modules to remove snapmirror does not clean base snapshot

CAPATEL_NET1984 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:09:38 GMT

I have below code

Invoke-NcSnapmirrorRelease -Source $vsm.SourceLocation -Destination $vsm.DestinationLocation -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop

Remove-NcSnapmirror -Source $vsm.SourceLocation -Destination $vsm.DestinationLocation -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop

when i remove the snapmirror relationship it does not remove base snapshot , the relationship type here is DP between two different cluster.

is there any option I am missing here?

I am running above two from remote cluster side

The Powershell command does the same as running "snapmirror release" on the command line. It is standard behavior that the base snapshot remains on the volume. You will have to delete it yourself afterwards.
