What sudo apt purge snapd doing?

Question

What sudo apt purge snapd doing exactly and how to remove all snap apps from the system at once?

This looks like two separate questions. Apt's --purge flag is clearly explained in the dpkg documentation (see `man dpkg`). How to remove snap-provided applications is clearly explained in the snap documentation (see `man snap`). — user535733, Nov 28 '22 at 05:53

snapd is a daemon required to run snaps (see What do snap, snapd and Snappy refer to?).

sudo apt purge snapd removes this software package AND associated configuration files.
