I'm guessing somebody will tell me I have to reboot, but why did none of the instructions on the internet say that? and since I was allowed to delete all the snaps that should imply none were in use, so why would a reboot be needed?

A common thing that can bite you is the unix feature that if a file is open and you delete the file it will not be removed from the filesystem until the program with the file open closes it or exits (closing all the open files).

This usually gets people trying to remove log files but not restarting the service that has the logfile open.

If you know the file or directory you could likely use lsof to track down the program that has the open file.
