I ran sudo snap abort 343 which stopped it. However the snap still showed up in /snap but was empty. I took a drastic step and just rmdir the folder under viking-gps and viking-gps itself. When I run sudo snap list it still shows up. chris@localhost:/snap$ sudo snap list Name Version Rev Developer Notes blender-tpaw 2.78-tpaw0 2 tpaw - directpdf 0.1.4 8 normex devmode krita 3.0.1.1-snap16 8 krita - pencilsheep 5 5 pencilsheep - snapweb 0.21.2 24 canonical - speed-test 1.7.0.1 2 bartaz - ubuntu-core 16.04.1 423 canonical - vice-jz 2.4.27-2 4 jz - viking-gps 1 chihchun disabled,broken wallpaperdownloader 2.3 5 egarcia - What snap command do I use to totally remove it from the list of snaps on my system? -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C 31.11972; -97.90167 (Elev. 1092 ft) 15:14:05 up 8 min, 1 user, load average: 4.82, 4.76, 2.53 Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, kernel 4.4.0-45-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 19 14:12:37 UTC 2016 -- Snapcraft mailing list <a href="mailto:Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io">Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft</a> </blockquote></div> <div> </div>-- <div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"> gustavo @ <a href="http://niemeyer.net" target="_blank">http://niemeyer.net</a></div> </div>
