Can you add some more detail on this article? Some of these commands obscure snapshots that are "in delete", and some do not. We recently had a situation where the system was struggling to delete snapshots in a timely way, and it was not clear how to list *all snapshots regardless of status*, and how to find out which snapshots were "in delete."
