The disk images take up space though, and even if you delete them, if the
loopback mount point still is running, the disk space won’t be available.
I don’t touch snaps, but it would appear you can examine what you have
installed:
sudo snap list —all
And remove them with:
sudo shame remove $SNAP_NAME —revision $SNAP_REVISION
Taking the name and revision from the list output.
You can also just unmount them like any other filesystem but I think the snapd
daemon has a way to re-vivify dead mounts.
