3 months ago We was able to delete the Snaphot with this apecific command:
$ aptly snapshot drop 'focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 '
So without the "-force" switch it is possible to delete it.
### So we solved the Issue for us.
The question is here for you (the Aptly community), if you want to analyse it or close it?

Snapshots cannot be deleted, when they have a space at the End of the name
Detailed Description
I have a snapshot with the exact name within the brackets: [focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 ] Detail:
You can see a "space" charakter at the end of the Snapshotname (after the 9 - Chatakter)
When I try to delete the snapshot, I get an error message, that the Snapshot-name is not available $ aptly snapshot drop -force focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 ERROR: unable to drop: snapshot with name focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 not found --> I try again with single quotes: $ aptly snapshot drop -force 'focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 ' ERROR: unable to drop: snapshot with name focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 not found --> I try it with double quotes: $ aptly snapshot drop -force "focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 " ERROR: unable to drop: snapshot with name focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 not found --> I try it with bakslah at the end before the "space" $ aptly snapshot drop -force focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09\ ERROR: unable to drop: snapshot with name focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09 not found --> and of course i tried it with single and doule qotas aptly snapshot drop -force 'focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09\ ' ERROR: unable to drop: snapshot with name focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09\ not found aptly snapshot drop -force "focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09\ " ERROR: unable to drop: snapshot with name focal-multiverse-snapshot-2023-09\ not found
I also tried to Rename the Snapshot in a name without Space at the end, same Result
Context
If we dont fix it, we will run in a more and more growing very big database --> Full disk in a frw Months ! --> We Need a fix for this. Thank you. :-) How would you use it? --> Delete a snapshot with in its Name is at the End a Space. ## Change Suggestion: 1. Offer a Workaround / Solution how to Delete this Snapshot with the Space at the End of the Snapshot Name 2. Implement a check, so that space in a given Name prohibited when created--> They will not run into the same Problem as we actually have
