Effect of snapshots is delayed. When you remove a file that does not
belong to any snapshot, some disk space is reclaimed. However to restore
a file (even a removed later) from a snapshot, it must be stored
anywhere. That is why snapshots consume disk space.
Try to remove unnecessary snapshots. I have no idea if btrfs requires
additional maintenance.
I just removed 3 snapshots from my daily driver with no change in used
space reported by df
Mindful of the fact that somebody considers it may take time to reflect
changes within the snapshots, I'll check again tomorrow morning
