Snaps Page

THIS FEATURE HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET

The Snaps Page allows you to remove existing Snap packages.

1. On the Snaps Page, select the Snap package(s) you want to remove.
2. Click the Customize❭ button to proceed.
3. Cubic will delete all files associated with the selected Snap package(s).

Important warnings:

• This action cannot be undone.
• Removed Snap packages cannot be reinstalled. (Remember: you cannot install new Snaps using Cubic.)
• Do not uninstall all Snap packages. The Ubuntu installer (Ubuntu Desktop Bootstrap) depends on other Snap packages, so removing everything will break the installation.

Recommended Snap packages to remove:

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.

On the Terminal Page, 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 remove --purge firefox

Don’t interrupt the process:

While Cubic is removing Snap packages:

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

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