snap: unable to remove old versions of apps
I found that i have 14 firefox versions on my disk taking up 4.2GB. There are more than 2 versions for core, code and chrome too.
I used sudo snap list firefox --all but it only listed two versions for firefox.
I tried sudo snap set system refresh.retain=2 but that doesn't clean up existing versions.
How should i remove those old firefox versions?
If i use for example sudo snap remove firefox --revision 3799, it would complain revision 3799 of snap "firefox" is not installed.
Also I noticed that snap is not detecting those newer versions (39**) as well.
Is this a bug in snap?
