How to delete public snapshot

0

I received an email stating that the EBS: SnapshotUsage has reached the offer limit, so I deleted all my snapshots. However, there was no change, and upon checking, I found that there are about 2000 public snapshots. I confirmed that they do not incur any charges, but do they occupy storage space? If they do, how can I delete them?

Hello.

Public snapshots are made available to the world by another AWS account (an AWS account that you do not own), so you cannot delete them.
It is published by another AWS account with the steps in the document below.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-modifying-snapshot-permissions.html#share-unencrypted-snapshot

There is no charge for your AWS account because the snapshot is managed by another AWS account.

    Thank you! Do those public snapshots occupy my storage space?

    No, public snapshots do not affect your AWS account and do not take up storage space.
