Bug Description
What happened:
Couldn't run vlc to view a mp4 video.
Tried running vlc from terminal, saw it crash repeatedly.
Ran "type vlc," got "vlc is hashed (/snap/bin/vlc)."
Uninstalled vlc with "Ubuntu Software."
Used apt to install vlc.
Ran "vlc," still failed.
Ran "type vlc," got "vlc is hashed (/snap/bin/vlc)."
Ran /bin/vlc-wrapper, success.
Had to manually rmdir/snap/bin/vlc.
What I expected:
Uninstalling the vlc snap would clean up /snap/bin/vlc.
