problem with snap

[jgw]

I had been having with snap. So I deleted it all and re-installed snap. I now have apparently have snap. It is, however, kinda odd. When I goto 'snap' there is one thing in it 'firefox'. The problem is that everything under 'firefox' is zero and its not installed there. That's fine but I don't understand that one. Then there is the snap store - not here. I tried to install it and failed. I can live with this but I would rather not.

When I checked snap I got:

Thoughts?

Are you talking about '/snap/' or about '~/snap/' ? The first is the directory snaps are mounted into (snaps are basically compressed filesystem images ...) the other is the directory in your $HOME where installed snaps store their per user configuration. If it's the latter then whatever is in there is just leftovers from the snaps you previously had (your Firefox configuration). If it's the first, then the problem is probably a lot deeper, possibly a broken snap-file left over and getting mounted there. Installed snaps are stored in '/var/lib/snapd/snaps/' and then mounted into subdirectories of '/snap/'.
