Login to DigitalOcean
Find your Droplet
On the sidebar select Destroy (Don't worry we are not going to destroy it)

In the Rebuild Droplet Box paste in the SnapShot name (in our case 2020-01-18 10:00:09)

The 'Created from' should match the name of the droplet
Press Rebuild
You will be asked to confirm

The process is dependant on the size of the droplet snapshot, and can be slow. The process bar in DigitalOcean is not very helpful for estimating time
The server should boot once completed
