I found this article/blog post on ItsFOSS (itsfoss.com)
It provides three (3) ways to uninstall software applications in Ubuntu:
1- Software Center
2- Terminal command line
3- Uninstall Snap apps via Terminal
The methods are easy. This article helped me, and I wanted to share it with our community:

Thank you, appreciate it
You’re welcome, Tracy! Thank you for your comment!
Thank you! Trying to get rid of Firefox and Thunderbird and got the
“package not found” error
Tutorial: How to Uninstall Applications in Ubuntu - #2 by Tracy got the package not found error, did not try Thunderbird.
Did not know that the briefcase.installed function could do all that nice stuff.
Firefox showed up but Thunderbird did not.
Remove button worked for Firefox after opening . Had to go to the terminal
for “Thunderbird” and that string was found so no need for wildcard option!!
Thank you!!!
On Ubuntu I think Firefox and Thunderbird(and many more now as Ubuntu 22) are installed by snap as well as Gnome at some point and time in during Ubuntu 20.04.

i cleaned out a Ubuntu Mate 20.04 system of snaps this way and then removed and blocked snap package then reinstalled all the applications that I wanted from authors ppas. Freed up over 15GB of space by cleaning out snaps. With only a 256GB SSD it makes a difference lol.
I moved away from Ubuntu on all of my systems this summer. I primarily run Debian 11 on my laptop now and my wife and daughters have DebianEDU based on 11. No snaps.
Thanks! I will put Debian on top of the Windows partition LOL
