Daytona can delete snapshot templates only, not

Error message

Daytona can delete snapshot templates only, not ${templateKind}.

What it means

Kind validation in onEnvironmentDeleteTemplate: params.templateKind (defaulting to 'snapshot') is something other than 'snapshot', such as an 'image' template. The Daytona driver only implements deletion of snapshot templates via the snapshot API, so deleting any other template kind is rejected before a client is created.

Solutions

Only snapshot templates can be deleted; use an image registry flow for image templates.
