Expire snapshots only removes data files which are no longer needed by any remaining snapshots. The output of your command shows no files were needed to be removed. Based on the fact that snapshot number seems to have increased in your second request I would be suspicious that you have snapshots older than default time for that command. Retain last is a "minimum" not a maximum, if your expire snapshots doesn't specifically state what the age limit is, it will only expire snapshots older than 5 days (I think, check the docs to be sure). The bin-pack command you shows it only found 2 files to compact. Most of the time when folks have this issue it is because they don't have enough small files in a given partition to trigger compaction. By default, the command will only compact files within a partition if there are 5 or more files in that partition that need compaction.
