When I run snap list --all command it shows all the installed versions of snap packages.

Now there are so many disabled packages there which are no longer used. So I want to remove those packages. Here the command is snap remove gnome-3-26-1604 --revision=62 . Now I have to do it for all the revisions and for all the packages one by one. Is there any command which will remove the disabled or unused snap packages with single line of command?
Thanks in advance...

Would it be possible for you to edit your question and instead of an image do copy and paste of the text? It really is discouraged to have images unless absolutely needed. It helps us with helping you. Thanks!

Note that keeping a single previous version is by design: when a snap is updated, the older revision will be removed.

But here gimp has 3 versions (revision-30,38,39). Though revision 38 and 39 has same versions... I will inform you later when any of this apps get further updates...
– Ryko
May 17 at 4:41
Is there any settings available in snap so that I could disable keeping previous versions of the snap applications... Because some of them requires so much space... like libre-office takes in nearly 2GB of space, and if the previous version is included it becomes 4GB.

I'll look into adding this sometime soon (as a 20% thing). Meanwhile, you could drop
#!/bin/sh
set -eu
snap list --all | awk '/disabled/print $1, $3' |
while read snapname revision; do
snap remove "$snapname" --revision="$revision"
done
into a shell script and run that.

The capability to purge/remove old/disabled snaps has been discussed previously but not yet implemented. In the meantime unfortunately it's a manual process.
