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
