Zusammenfassung:System and method for managing snapshots of storage objects stored in a storage system uses a storage structure that includes both a storage object and any snapshots of the storage object. When a request to delete the storage object is received, the storage structure that includes the storage object is checked to determine if there is at least one snapshot in the storage structure. After determining that there is at least one snapshot in the storage structure, the storage structure is marked as being delete designated without deleting the storage structure. After determining that there is no snapshot in the storage structure, the storage structure is deleted.
