Why each option
In Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, the rollback of a machine image update is performed at the Machine Catalog level, not the Delivery Group level, because master image associations are managed within catalogs.
The 'Rollback machine update' option does not exist at the Delivery Group level - rollback is a Machine Catalog operation because image versioning is owned by the catalog.
Deleting the snapshot associated with the template VM would destroy the rollback point rather than apply it, making recovery impossible.
The 'Rollback machine update' action is available at the Machine Catalog level in Citrix Studio because the catalog is where the master image and its versioning are managed. Executing the rollback from the Machine Catalog reverts all provisioned machines back to the previously assigned master image. The Delivery Group references the catalog but does not own image version control.
Deleting difference disks would corrupt or destroy machine state entirely and would not restore machines to a known-good previous image.
