Need help with a PowerCLI script that won't fully execute to Remove Snapshots

$

I'm hoping someone can tell me why my script won't complete.  I'm trying to display and delete snapshots that are leftover by Commvault.  I have it written so I can search by Name or Description by removing the marking or un-marking your preference.  Everything works except for the section in "blue" below.  My variable, $snaps, shows the desired output but the code below it won't delete the snapshots.  It doesn't have any errors or give me a reason why it's not working.

 

* Parts of the script below came from other sources.

 

Hoping someone can assist me.

 

Thanks,

Charles
