i installed a new fedora 41 instance to test out snapshots and rollbacks features and i conflicted my current fedora 40 instance with that new fedora 41, the /.snapshots that is supposed to exist only in the new fedora 41 now present in my fedora 40, i cannot remove it with sudo rm -rfv /.snaphots command:
the error is “rm: cannot remove ‘[whatever folder or files in .snapshots]’: Read-only file system” and there are over 3.8 million lines of them;
example: rm: cannot remove '.snapshots/9/snapshot/var/spool/abrt/Python3-2025-01-03-03:31:16-3024/username': Read-only file system
