It seems that you will have to first clean up the engine database to
remove references to the snapshot that no longer exists.  Then you
will need to remove the unused qcow2 volume.

Unfortunately I cannot provide safe instructions for modifying the
database but maybe Ala Hino (added to CC:) will be able to help with
that.

One you have fixed the DB you should be able to delete the volume
using a vdsm verb on the SPM host:

# vdsClient -s 0 deleteVolume <sdUUID> <spUUID> <imgUUID> <volUUID>
