Check if you have any snap packages installed first:
snap list
Remove snap packages by name ex:
sudo snap remove spotify
once all packages are cleared out
then remove cache and snap:
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/snapd/
sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd
you might also want to hold that package so it doesnt accidentally reinstall:
sudo apt-mark hold snapd
Some of that is described here and you can reinstall some things it might have taken away...
