In Report Builder, there are 2 ways you can prevent scheduled custom reports from generating future snapshots. You can either archive or delete the scheduled report:
Archiving a report will temporarily pause the scheduled report, and the report can be un-archived anytime you want. All the snapshots of the scheduled report will be kept.
Deleting a report will permanently remove the scheduled report and all the related snapshots. This cannot be undone.
In general, it is best to archive a report unless you are certain that you no longer need it in the future.
