How to *properly* delete a policy?

Support

Hi. I recently made some changes to my system, I moved everything from $HOME/a/b/ to $HOME/a/ effectively removing the b directory)

So I had to delete the policy for $HOME/a/b and make a new one for $HOME/a

To delete the policy, I simply click on Edit and then Delete Policy

Policy
Policy1143×1315 130 KB

Going to the Snapshots page, now I see the both the new snapshot and the old snapshots
But for both directories (which basically have the same policies, just different path) it shows “Next Snapshot in 5 days”. Even for the deleted policy.
(see my reply below because I cannot add more than 1 picture)

Note that two days ago already tried making a snapshot (with 0B) since that folder is now empty.

How can I stop automatic snapshots of the old directory?

Have you ever solved this?

Well, the above example isn’t about policies, but about snapshots. So question should have been, how do I remove the old snapshots, because the attached policy would be removed as well.

OK. Assume one wants to stop the path from being snapshotted, but wants to keep the snapshots already done. What would be the procedure to do so?

Just set the “Manual Snapshots Only” to “yes” in the policy for that path…
