  • I dont have gparted Mar 27, 2021 at 13:00
  • Actually you do I guess I should have been much more clear, Boot from live media and run gparted.

  • I installed gparted just now, but I cant any 2.2mb partition in it Mar 27, 2021 at 13:04
  • GPART is a advanced tool...We need to know what you have tried to delete files from the disk and how you access it. Can you type ls -la Mar 27, 2021 at 13:14

There is no actual 2.2MB partition in your system, hence why you don't see it in gparted or any of the partition tools.

The loop mounts are Snap mounts. You cannot 'remove' or 'delete' them and they aren't actually partitions, they're the Snap applications loaded up and usable.

If you want to remove the loop mounts you have to uninstall the corresponding snaps. You can't remove all the snaps, though, because that'll break your system.

You don't actually have a 2.2MB partition. That's just a Snap mounted so it can be used.

If you are absolutely certain this is a utorrent snap, then you need to remove it. sudo snap remove utorrent should remove the application and the snap mount.

  • "You can't remove all the snaps, though, because that'll break your system." citation needed, I removed all the snaps from my system. Mar 28, 2021 at 16:06
  • @OrganicMarble I'mma just leave this output of sudo snap list on a 20.04 system here for you to review, as GNOME Core on 20.04 systems (and 18.04) are snapped now. Unless you use a different Desktop Environment, you're going to break the DE on a vanilla Ubuntu.
