/var/lib/snapd/snaps/*.snap: can't open blockdev errors keep coming back despite several tries to remove totally snap
I’m running Ubuntu 23.10 on a I9 cpu + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 ti and the driver 545 right now. Everything works great,but not snap. I’ve tried to remove it as soon as I have installed Ubuntu from scratch,but something went wrong and now I see the following errors during boot :
/var/lib/snapd/snaps/bare_5.snap: Can't open blockdev
/var/lib/snapd/snaps/core22_607.snap: Can't open blockdev
/var/lib/snapd/snaps/core22_864.snap: Can't open blockdev

/var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd_20290.snap: Can't open blockdev
/var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd-desktop-integration_83.snap: Can't open blockdev
Anyway,snap seems to work ok (because I’ve reinstalled it with the purpose to remove it again when I was able to fix the errors) :
# snap list

What I want to do really is to remove snap totally,including the errors that you see above. I tried different approaches,but none worked,errors keep coming back.
Remove the snapd and orphaned packages:
sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd
Prevent from updating:
sudo apt-mark hold snapd
You can also manually delete these folders:
rm -rf ~/snap
sudo rm -rf /snap
sudo rm -rf /var/snap
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/snapd
