Ok, thanks Cole, I have modify the point at the disk image to original
root disk image:

        before "<source file='/virt/win7-64-snap1.qcow2'/>"
        after "<source file='/virt/win7-64.qcow2'/>"

Then I have remove the image overlay /virt/win7-64-snap1.qcow2

Now all work fine.

But now when I list snapshot the snapshot removed is showed:

So, I have remove the machine and recreate it and the snapshot is gone
away.

Thanks for help.
