But the snapshot is still displayed in the Azure Portal\Snapshots. Had to delete it manually.

That's an odd one. It uses Remove-AzDisk to remove the disk. From the output you received, that comes directly from that command. If this happens again, try to run this command manually and see if it's removed.

Remove-AzDisk -ResourceGroupName A-RG -DiskName <snapshotnamehere> -Force

@adbertram I am having the same issue, I used the command you mentioned but it also did not remove the snapshot

I am experiencing the same issue. Running the command Remove-AzDisk manually gives the same output as the remove-azvmsnapshot command, but neither seems to actually delete the snapshot itself.

It seems it is necessary to run RemoveAzSnapshot commandlet to actually remove the snapshot. Remove-AzSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $RG.Name -SnapshotName $SS.Name -Force

seems to do it correctly for me.

Kind regards, Boštjan
