In snap directory I have folder "gradle".

But even when I'm trying to remove gradle under "root" (sudo rm -R gradle), I receive:

cannot remove 'gradle/78/etc/X11/Xreset': Read-only file system

cannot remove 'gradle/78/etc/X11/Xreset.d/README': Read-only file system

The subdirectories of /snap are mount-points for your snaps. All snaps are mounted read-only thus you can't edit or delete files inside them.

If you want to remove the directory /snap/gradle you'll have to run the proper uninstall command:

snap remove gradle

Alternatively you could disable the snap:

snap disable gradle

makes the snap unavailable on your system. With snap enable gradle you could then make the application available again without reinstalling it.
