Bug #2082384 “snapd leaves behind artifacts after uninstalling a…” : Bugs : snapd

admin

I noticed that it looks like snapd leaves behind artifacts from the snap after the spotify app has been uninstalled. This is unexpected and seems like buggy behavior for a package manager.

On my local system, I see the files which appear to be remnants of the spotify snap, which I would not expect to exist after uninstalling spotify.

$ snap list | grep spotify
$ fd spotify /
/run/udev/tags/snap_spotify_spotify

The above is obviously not an exhaustive list – this is just the files remaining that contain the name “spotify”.
