Snapshots are at the volume level therefore you have 2 choices:
1) Delete the qtrees and keep lots of snapshot d

off naturally.
2) Delete snapshots (probably starting at the oldest) until an your snapshots
are chewing up an acceptable amount of space. Worst case, you'd have to
delete
all of them and start over. If you want to do
>hat, you'll need to delete the
snapshots first, then delete the qtrees, then begin snapshots again.
Turning off snapshots doesn't delete existing snapshots, it just stops new
ones from being taken.
