  5. In the Storage tab navigation pane, select the volume for which you want to expire a snapshot.
  6. In the right pane, click the Snapshots tab.
  7. Right-click the snapshot you want to expire, then select Expire. The Expire dialog box opens.
    NOTE:To expire multiple snapshots simultaneously, hold down Shift while you select the snapshots, then right-click a selected snapshot and select Expire.
