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