Bug Description

Removing a snap triggers the 'Starting scheduled backup' notification then (because I don't have the USB stick plugged in) the `Backup Failed: Error creating directory /media/adam/Adam Eveleigh: Permission denied` dialogue box. I am scheduled a backup, but should this dialogue box be opened every time I remove a snap?

`journalctl -f` output for `snap remove notepad-plus-plus`: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Ksy4cmF6ZJ/

```

I think this is possibly a Deja Dup bug (so I used `ubuntu-bug deja-dup`) but I've marked it as also affecting snappy for now because it's an interaction bug so might be snappy that needs to be fixed rather than Deja Dup.

I suspect this is caused by `udevadm trigger` and `udevadm settle` that snapd invokes, for some snaps, depending on how they are made, when they are removed.

There are multiple other bugs related to various issues (including desktop crashing or minor annoyances) related to udev. I've added a tag to this bug to ease discovery of such bugs for other developers.
