Replication error (old Snapshotfiles)

Basically your snapshot does not contain enough information in it to deploy
a new subscriber and then backfill it with changes which have occurred on
the publisher so the subscriber can merge with the publisher.
To do this you need a new snapshot. You might need to change your retention
period to something larger.
