Operation description

Take note of the following items:

If the snapshot does not exist, the request is ignored.
If the snapshot has been used to create custom images, the snapshot cannot be deleted. You need to call the DeleteImage operation to delete the custom images before you can delete the snapshot.
If the snapshot has been used to create disks and Force is not specified or is set to false, the snapshot cannot be deleted directly. If you want to delete the snapshot, set Force to true to forcibly delete the snapshot. The disks created from the snapshot cannot be re-initialized after the snapshot is forcibly deleted.
