I found that I could select my 1,500 snapshots and use the GUI button to delete them. The problem is that they don't delete. I found that I could click as many as TWO snapshots and they would delete, but three or more will not.

Ideas?

I found through personal experience that when I wanted to delete a large number of snapshots, there was a noticeable delay between when I clicked to execute and when they actually no longer showed.

How long did you wait after you clicked?

You can also delete snapshots from the command line. Be careful, if you use this command incorrectly you can destroy your entire pool!
Code:
zfs destroy pool/dataset@%

That command deletes all snapshots from pool/dataset.
