snap auto-refresh re-installs removed snaps

[Haw Loeung]

Hi,

I ran 'snap remove lxd' but the auto-refresh re-installs it. Is there any way to permanently remove a snap?

Turns out this is being pulled in by the juju snap:

... and my work-around is to add /usr/local/bin/lxd, shell script which just runs true.
