Delete Snapshot

Delete a snapshot you no longer need by its snapshot ID. Deleting a snapshot is permanent — sandboxes already created from it are unaffected, but you can no longer create new sandboxes from it.

Delete a snapshot

The call returns true if the snapshot was deleted, or false if no snapshot with that ID was found.

Note: A snapshot may not be deletable while any running sandboxes were created from it. Kill those sandboxes before deleting the snapshot.

import os
from novita_sandbox import Novita

novita = Novita(api_key=os.getenv("NOVITA_API_KEY", ""))
snapshot_id = "<snapshotID>"
deleted = novita.sandbox.delete_snapshot(snapshot_id)
print("deleted" if deleted else "not found")

import { Novita } from 'novita-sandbox'

const novita = new Novita({
  apiKey: process.env.NOVITA_API_KEY || '',
})
const deleted = await novita.sandbox.deleteSnapshot('<snapshotID>')
console.log(deleted ? 'deleted' : 'not found')
