I would be... but thats just me...

It's like yesterday's newspaper.  Why do you need to keep it?

A wild guess... because the changes haven't been synced back with the original yet (which happens when the snapshot is released)?
My understanding is that the snapshot is a copy-on-write (COW) to the original volume. If that is not the case, then I guess things must have changed and I have some old information.
