Termindate snapd with prejudice

snap list

sudo snap list | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -L 1 sudo snap remove --purge
sudo apt remove --purge snapd
sudo apt-mark hold snapd

Find and terminate any snapd directories:

## /home/*/snap
sudo find /home -type d -name snap
sudo find /home -regex '/home/[a-zA-Z0-9.]*/snap' -type d -name snap
# sudo find /home -regex '/home/[a-zA-Z0-9.]*/snap' -type d -name snap -exec rm -rf {} \;

## other candidates - this could take a long time
sudo find / -xdev -type d -name snap
