that is just plain outright Wrong!!!!!ud6 wrote: ⤴Sat Nov 17, 2018 3:54 pmGlad timeshift works for you, but the inability to delete timeshift snapshots is a known bug. It's not an inability to use it, it's that Timeshift is dangerous to use.

Just yesterday, I highlighted about 20 Timeshift backups in the Timeshift app and told it to delete, and it did. I looked at the extHDD to verify that, and they were all gone.... it left an equal number of 32b files and each had a notation 'link broken'....
then I opened the folder under ROOT and deleted the broken links.....
then I made a new Manual Timeshift backup, and it never hiccuped once.
and here is the proof of that.....

the photos loaded backwards, so scroll to the bottom and review the gBytes of each backup from the bottom up.
then notice the last screen where I show the few backups that I left...
Timeshift just does not care what you delete in the middle, it fixes that the next time you backup with it.
