# WARNING: This script will remove ALL snap applications. (Includning Firefox and the Software store). | |
# Make backups of your configurations, bookmarks, etc. You should also make sure to have replacements | |
# ready for software that you use. (Like Firefox for example.) | |

sudo snap remove $p | |

# Stops snapd and unmounts as many snaps as it can. | |
sudo systemctl stop snapd | |
for m in /snap/core/*; do | |
sudo umount $m | |

# If anything remains, the steps below will take care of it. | |

rm -rf ~/snap | |
sudo rm -rf /snap | |
sudo rm -rf /var/snap | |

# (OPTIONAL) The following command will make sure snapd does not get installed again as a dependency. | |
# Downside is that it will show an error if you try to install certain packages that only comes as snap. | |
# Uncomment the below line if that is what you want. | |
# sudo apt-mark hold snapd |
