How to uninstall a snap package manually?
I am trying to remove a snap package, leagueoflegends, but i am getting this error:
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Disconnect leagueoflegends:desktop-legacy from core:desktop-legacy (internal error: connection "leagueoflegends:desktop-legacy core:desktop-legacy" not found in state)
- Disconnect leagueoflegends:wine-4-staging from wine-platform-4-staging:wine-4-staging (cannot setup apparmor for snap "leagueoflegends": cannot load apparmor profiles: exit status 10

I have attempted to remove the snap package from all the folders its stored at except for /snap/leagueoflegends, where I am getting write-protection error: "cannot remove ... "Read-only file system".
Solution 1:
You may have created a problem if you have deleted files as indicated.
The "normal" way to handle snap packages is via the snap utility. I have included help text and examples below to get you an impression what to use.
How exactly to get out of the situation you have created is harder to tell.
I suggest you do snap list
to find out the actual name of the package you wish to remove, and then try sudo snap remove packagename
- for that package.
If that displays errors, then you need to deal with those in a sane manner.
Some tips on "snap" usage...
$ snap list <list of installed packages here> $ snap help The snap command lets you install, configure, refresh and remove snaps. Snaps are packages that work across many different Linux distributions, enabling secure delivery and operation of the latest apps and utilities. Usage: snap [...] - - - 8<- - - - - For more information about a command, run 'snap help '. For a short summary of all commands, run 'snap help --all'. $ snap help remove Usage: snap remove [remove-OPTIONS] ... The remove command removes the named snap instance from the system. By default all the snap revisions are removed, including their data and the common data directory. When a --revision option is passed only the specified revision is removed. [remove command options] --no-wait Do not wait for the operation to finish but just print the change id. --revision= Remove only the given revision $ sudo snap remove ...
Note that at least "core" needs to be there for snap to function... I'm not as sure about the others here, they might be required too.
