With apt-get or some other way?
If you've used apt-get (or some other package manager), that would be the best way to remove it now. I presume that's not possible, so you might have to do something a little more drastic. (If you accidentally remove lilypond-snapshot are you able to reinstall it?) Try 'which -a lilypond'. That will show you the location of every LilyPond executable in your $PATH. Getting rid of those--or modifying your $PATH--may be your best option. Do you access LilyPond from the command line or via emacs?
