Trying the veeam AHV appliance, i had a crash whilst taking a backup
now am left with orphaned snapshots on a PAID ACCOUNT, and nutanix sends the ball to veeam back to nutanix, so here i am
Protection Domain DP-QC-3 has 3 aged third-party backup snapshot(s) and may unnecessarily consume storage space in the cluster.
i have a multitude of these and want to manually remove those snapshots, is there a process for this ?

solution:
get all vm uuids
grab snapshots with thos in mind.. with api
curl -u "admin" -k -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"filter":"entity_uuid==UUIDHERE","kind":"vm_snapshot"}' 'https://1.2.3.4:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vm_snapshots/list
find one with furthest date or to delete and use api to delete.
curl -u admin -k -X DELETE --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' 'https://1.2.3.4:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vm_snapshots/SNAPIDHERE

Cant find the aged third party snapshots using this method. Any hints about how to get a list of these snapshots?
