Removing files manually with sudo rm is dangerous. If you delete the snaps properly (through snap remove) yes, most of them can be removed. I'm not sure if deleting these snaps is safe (if so, can I just run sudo rm -rf *?).Yes, if discord and spotify are installed via snap removing those files will result in the applications being removed (or broken, in this case). Will deleting the discord and spotify snaps lead to any issues with opening those applications The other answer details how to limit this. This leads to a lot of disk space being taken up, especially if an app and its dependencies are heavy. Snap lets you easily roll-back to previous versions in case you want to. The snaps in /var/lib/snapd/snaps are taking up 2.0 GB of space on my disk right now.The base gnome-3-34 snaps are dependencies for the various gnome apps. The gnome snaps are a pack of basic apps (calculator, system-monitor, etc). What are the gnome, code, and core snaps?Ĭore is required for snap to function, it has the program's core runtime.They work across linux distros and have become popular because of how easy they are to maintain and use. Snaps are a way to package software, like deb packages or flatpaks. So, there's a couple questions here and I'll try to address them in an order that makes sense:

UPDATE: No, it is not safe to delete these snaps.
