# How To Remove Snapcraft

How to Remove Snapcraft From Ubuntu (And possibly other Debian based distros)

>Note: Linux Mint does not come with snap

1. List all installed snap packages:
<br>snap list<br>
2. Remove each package listed in step 1. Must be done individually. You cannot remove the "core" package.
<br>sudo snap remove --purge package-name<br>
3. Clear the snap cache:
<br>sudo rm -rf /var/cache/snapd/<br>
4. Uninstall snapd and the snap GUI tool
<br>sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd gnome-software-plugin-snap<br>
5. Remove the snap preferences from your home directory.
<br>rm -fr ~/snap<br>
6. Put the snapd package on hold, which prevents it from being installed or updated automatically.
<br>sudo apt-mark hold snapd<br>
Isn't open-source grand!! Microsoft, Apple and Google would never let you do something like this.
