Old Ubuntu core snap versions are filling up disk space
Right now I don't believe it's possible to change the number of old versions of any snap, that's set at 3. If you see more than that, it's likely a bug, so should be filed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd
This post lists several solutions for older snap version removing:
Manual script by popey to delete "all old versions of snaps"
#!/bin/bash # https://superuser.com/a/1330590 # Removes old revisions of snaps # CLOSE ALL SNAPS BEFORE RUNNING THIS set -eu snap list --all | awk '/disabled/{print $1, $3}' | while read snapname revision; do snap remove "$snapname" --revision="$revision" done
And "snap set system refresh.retain" setting for "snap 2.34 and later" by Mustapha Hadid to store only 2 revisions of every snap:
$ sudo snap set system refresh.retain=2
The refresh.retain value can only be a number between 2 and 20 and has a default value of 3
