I did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu this morning, came from 18.04 and am now using 20.04. So once Ubuntu successfully installs I naturally go ahead and begin installing programs. The Ubuntu Software interface and icons wouldn't load properly and would give me strange 'Unable to install “blender”: snap “blender” has “install-snap” change in progress', so I just used the terminal.

After installing a few programs via sudo apt install I realize that I have two copies of some (blender, krita, obs-studio) and only one expected copy of others (inkscape, scribus). So I use sudo apt remove blender to try and uninstall them but only one copy is removed. After searching around in my files and see that I have a snap folder even though I never installed via snap, so I sudo snap remove blender and it removes the second copy. How come do I have a snap folder if I install via apt ? Why do I get two copies of programs when I do a regular apt install ?

Has anyone else had this issue ?
