How do I remove snaps

[urdrwho10]

Ok, it is not my normal to install and use SNAPS. But I did so and now I'd like to remove it. I can't just un-tick it in Discover. Must I do the removal bit by bit line for line? I didn't even know about the gtk-common-themes from Snaps. I wanted to install Cheese through Snaps because it seems to work better for me.

Never knew I was going to get all these loop folders?

Code: Select all

/dev/loop1           128      128         0 100% /snap/bare/5
/dev/loop5         41472    41472         0 100% /snap/snapd/20671
/dev/loop0         36096    36096         0 100% /snap/cheese/40
/dev/loop2         76032    76032         0 100% /snap/core22/1122
/dev/loop4         93952    93952         0 100% /snap/gtk-common-themes/1535
/dev/loop3        508928   508928         0 100% /snap/gnome-42-2204/141
tmpfs             790384       68    790316   1% /run/user/1000

Snap is a EVIL....

First, make sure that you don’t have any snap packages installed.

Code: Select all

snap list

If there are any, remove those snap packages first.

Code: Select all

sudo snap remove package1 package2 package3

then

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove --purge snapd

This step removes all the snaps installed. You can verify this by using

Code: Select all

snap list

Once snaps are removed, you can clear the leftover data by issuing the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo rm -rf /var/cache/snapd/

Thanks.
sudo apt remove --purge snapd created a warning at the end

Code: Select all

g: warning: while removing snapd, directory '/lib/systemd/system-generators' not empty so not removed

snap list show empty so I guess everything has been cleaned out.

Is flathub ok or is that snaps evil twin? I'll try cheese again from the normal depository.

You can ignore this message. It is harmless.

Flathub is OK (maybe) but snaps not ok....
