I am running Kubuntu 20.10 on a Samsung Chromebook.

Since I was having problems saving files with the Snap version of Chromium, I installed the Deb version and that works fine for me.

I tried to remove the snap with sudo snap remove chromium But I got:

error: cannot perform the following tasks: - 
Save data of snap "chromium" in automatic snapshot set #1 
(cannot create archive: tar: common/chromium/Profile 1/Extension State/002511.log: file changed as we read it (and 0 more))

Can anyone tell me how to safely remove the Snap Chromium without affecting the Deb version?

EDIT 17 April 21 I found an answer that worked for me here: How to remove snap completely without losing the Chromium browser? As mentioned by @ʇsәɹoɈ.

snap remove chromium

then

sudo apt purge chromium-browser chromium-chromedriver

Had to remove <chromium_chromium.desktop> from </home/user/.local/share/applications> to get rid of the App in the Application Launcher also removed an empty folder called in </home/user/snap>.

My Deb Chromium if working fine and the Snap version is gone.
