Recommended Snap Packages to Remove

The Ubuntu installer Snap (Ubuntu Desktop Bootstrap) depends on other Snap packages, so removing everything will break the installation.

These are commonly safe targets to remove:

• Firefox
• Snap Store
• Thunderbird

After Removal

Once the selected Snaps are removed, Cubic will automatically transition to the Terminal Page, where you must manually remove any deb packages related to the removed Snap apps.

For example..

• If you removed the Firefox Snap, remove the corresponding Debian package using:

  apt --yes --quiet --quiet --quiet autoremove --purge '?name(firefox)'

• If you removed the Thunderbird Snap, remove the corresponding Debian package using:

  apt --yes --quiet --quiet --quiet autoremove --purge '?name(thunderbird)'

See the Terminal page for additional steps you can take.

Don’t Interrupt the Process

While Cubic is removing Snap packages:

• Do not cancel by clicking the ❬Back button. (Note the ❬Back button has been disabled to prevent this).
• Do not exit Cubic.

Interrupting the process may leave your customized filesystem in an inconsistent state.
