my system has 4 gnome-* content snaps, that were pulled in as
dependencies. The apps that used them, have moved on to newer versions.
Something on my system must clean then up for me, for example apt
autoremoves automatically installed packages & obsolete kernels, and so
should also happen with snaps.
It can be done by snapd itself, or by something else on the classic
desktop - i.e. update-manager. Note it is easy to detect such snaps, as
it provides no apps; has content interface only; which is not plugged by
anything. If it is ever needed by any future or past revision of any
other snap it would be autoinstalled back.
On my system they take up 824M of disk space (2 revisions, of 2 unused
content snaps = 4 snaps)
