Hi,
checking the available snapshots for a config I get a list that includes many snapshots with description "old snap-sync snapshot (you may remove)".

I think it would make sense to cleanup these snapshots automatically.
Otherwise you run into risk that filesystem is marked as full.
This request is related to issue #74.

The number algorithm should clean them up automatically once they go beyond the number you have set in your settings.
I guess this is a duplicate of #74
I also strongly recommend adding an option to delete those.
Duplicate of #74 . Working on an update to resolve this.
