Bug Description

gnome-software 3.26.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1

Test Case:
1. Install a snap
2. Remove it

Expected result
The snap is removed and nothing else

Actual result
After the removal there is a message "Sorry something didn't work, snap is not installed" which is true because it has been intentionally removed but useless. This is not only reproducible.

That's still an issue, not a big deal but gives a lack of polish feeling :-/

This is what I did to reproduce the bug:

1. Open gnome software, search for rocketchat, install the desktop app.
2. close gnome software
3. open gnome software, search for rocketchat, remove the desktop app.

What happens: The snap gets removed correctly but you get the error "sorry something went wrong, snap not installed".
