A snapshot keeps being created on my console everytime I delete it.

There are a few things that would cause a new snapshot to be created when you try to delete it.

• Automation or backup process: Check if there is any automated process or backup system in place that is continuously creating snapshots. Some backup solutions automatically create snapshots before deleting them to ensure data integrity and provide a recovery point in case of accidental deletion.
• Replication or synchronization: If your snapshots are part of a replication or synchronization process, the system might be creating new snapshots to maintain data consistency across multiple locations or systems. In such cases, deleting a snapshot may trigger the creation of a new one to ensure the desired state is maintained.
• Dependencies or references: Snapshots can be referenced or used by other resources within your infrastructure. If any other resources depend on the snapshot you are trying to delete, the system may automatically recreate it to fulfill those dependencies. Check if any other resources, such as virtual machines or volumes, are associated with the snapshot.

Hopefully this helps.

Thank you.

Hello.

Look for the "CompleteSnapshot" event in CloudTrail.
This event contains information such as the IAM username, so you should be able to tell who created it.
