In order to free up more space on my filesystem root partition it was suggested since I am not using anything specifically with SNAP [I only have the snap-store] to go ahead and remove SNAP. This would free up about 4.5 GB of space. I am currently at 90% on the partition. This link:

remove snap entirely by itsfoss.com

seems to show in detail how to successfully, and hopefully uneventfully, get rid of SNAP. I am interested in any input to the use of the itsfoss.com instructional. thanks...

    There are loads of posts on removing or disabling snap, including by Ubuntu *developers* found on Planet Ubuntu etc.. Given we don't know what OS/release you're using (*you didn't specify*) nor how you intend using your system into the future (*as there can be consequences into the future which can only be resolved by re-enabling snapd*) your question is currently unanswerable as is, let alone being largely seeking *opinion* which I see as off-topic here (https://askubuntu.com/help/dont-ask) given there is no actual problem to solve in your question. – guiverc Jun 15 '23 at 03:28

  • Well yes there is a problem. My partition is 90% full and I need to create space. I am running 20.04.6 LTS. I am not sure how to explain how I to intend to use my system going forward. It is a desktop computer in my home that can be used for a variety of reasons. Admittedly I was seeking an opinion on the efficacy of the ItsFoss instructional.on removing snapd. The links provided were helpful. Thank you. – Ed Delauter Jun 16 '23 at 03:02
