Hi VanArt,
If I understand correctly when you deleted your instance your backup retention period was not 0 e.g. 7 days. If this was the case the snapshots will be removed after 7 days, there is no action you need to take.
I hope that helps :)

Not possible. Error: You can't delete a system snapshot. To remove system snapshots for an active DB instance, modify the DB instance and reduce the automated backup window. To remove system snapshots for a deleted instance, delete the retained automated backup.
Perhaps you are trying to remove it from the snapshot screen. Instead, open "Retained" from the "Automated backups" screen below, select the appropriate snapshot, and delete it from the actions in the upper right corner.
