How remove snap?

I in some way installed snap command via dnf and now I can't uninstall snap command? I trying uninstall snap via sudo dnf uninstall/remove snap and can't because I have info about bazzite not support snap.
Solution:
snap still messes up stuff that reset does not fix

How I can reinstall without breaking my data and files/ ? And I can btw. upgrade normally via system update when click N there.

snap can cause other systems down the line and we wont be able to support you and you can reinstall without breaking your data by backing up your data

everything you care about to backup will be in /home/yourusername but i would not recommend copying the whole folder back over your new home

OBS stuff I think.

~/.config and ~/.var then and obviously if you have a locally made layout make sure you copy the files back in the right place for obs to find them

As a thought experiment, does rolling back/rebasing do anything or is snap just that much crap?

I reinstalled Bazzite. Ty for telling me about how bad is this snap. Strange about how Bazzite can install snap command and then can't uninstalling snap and installing snap programs 💀

We do not control the fedora repos. And it's an incompatibility with atomic systems IIRC which again we don't control

Why wouldn't rpm-ostree reset work?

no idea i dont make snap we have had people install snap, get severe system issues, remove it and its still there and they never had the issues before installing snap and they were not there before installing it.

Dunno. I only do sudo dnf snap install 😅 For just be safe I just format linux drive and reinstall bazzite.

You mean sudo dnf install snap?

I think yes. I haved errors with installation or after installation not having options for snap commands "snap command not found". When I run system update app and reboot, then next time when I run system update app I haved prompt for sudo password and next time again. Then next time I checked and is for snap like in thread picture.
