Uninstalling

Uninstalling

Removing the snap deletes your worlds, together with everything else in ~/snap/mc-installer/. Copy your saves folder somewhere safe first: see Files and Backups.

From App Center: open Minecraft Installer and press Uninstall.

From a terminal:

sudo snap remove mc-installer

Snap keeps an automatic copy of the snap's data for a while after you remove it. snap saved lists it, and reinstalling followed by sudo snap restore <number> brings it back. Don't rely on that: make your own copy.

Your Microsoft account and your purchase of Minecraft aren't affected. Install the snap again and sign in to play again.
