Snapshots cause a lot of cost. In some of my storage accounts I don't need them.
But I can't find a place where I can turn it off.
How can I disable snapshots completely from a storage account in Azure?

It's not a feature that can be turned off completely; Although to make snapshots you would have to explicitly write code to create them, unless you have soft delete enabled. In that case an overwrite will create a snapshot in deleted state but it'll be automatically removed once the soft delete time expires.
Another option would be the lifecycle management. There you can make a rule to automatically delete snapshots once they are more than X days old. That check runs daily so the storage costs are only extended by a few days.

Navigate to your storage account's blob and look for your snapshots under Snapshots. From there, you may manage them.

If you've already established a resource for it, go to that resource's page and delete it.
