📄 Description

Requested operation is not valid: cannot delete inactive domain with 1 snapshots

Deleting the snapshots manually before being able to delete the VM doesn't much make sense. ;)

But what's more important, external snapshots (not supported by WVM itself) can't be deleted (libvirt #1044691). That said, it's inevitable to pass VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_SNAPSHOTS_METADATA to successfully delete a VM.
