But I’m also not going to suggest deleting a dataset. And if you do perhaps look into a zfs checkpoint

[murphys-law] [murphys-law-with-a-net] If you do destructive or experimental actions against files and folders within a filesystem, you can always resort to rolling back to a dataset’s snapshot. Even if you don’t wish to do a full rollback (which will ultimately lose any new data after the point-in-time of the snapshot), you can still retrieve old or deleted files from the read-only filesystem (i.e, "snapshot) on an individual basis.
