How can I uninstall a duplicate program?

  • 772

Ubuntu Software center won’t allow me to view installed programs because automatic updates are paused – something I can’t change.

The command:

sudo apt remove cawbird

does not work.

I have two of these app icons in my app drawer and only one works.

  2. cawbird is a snap

    You can remove a snap by opening a terminal and typing:

    sudo snap remove <package>

    After completion, the folder for will remain. You can check the name of the folder by navigating to /home/snap and then you can remove it with:

    sudo snap rm -r <package_folder_name>
