Snap Disabled Versions Cleanup Script

This Python script removes all disabled or old Snap packages from an Ubuntu-based system.

Features

  • Uses subprocess for secure command execution.
  • Automatically removes all old/disabled Snap revisions.
  • Restarts snapd service and checks its status.

Note: This script requires sudo privileges since it modifies system-level Snap installations.

Direct Setup

Clone this repo and make scripts executable to run the cleanup:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/m1st0/snap-cleanup.git snap_cleanup
cd snap_cleanup
chmod a+x snap_cleanup.py
sudo snap_cleanup.py

Git Submodule Setups

  • If desired as a submodule:

    git submodule add https://github.com/m1st0/snap-cleanup.git vendor/snap_cleanup
git add .gitmodules vendor/snap_cleanup

    Commit as necessary.

  • If cloning a project that uses this repo as a submodule:

    git clone --recurse-submodules <parent repo>

  • If the project was already cloned without its submodules in the parent repo:

    git submodule update --init --recursive

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Git
