Read-only filesystem for a folder related to VLC Player

I was watching video using VLC player when my computer turned off (power outage). And when I turned it on and logged in, VLC was unable to start.
I tried to remove VLC (sudo apt remove...), and this command executed without any error messages.
There is a folder /snap/vlc with subfolders, which cannot be deleted. When I try to delete it via Midnight Commander (started via sudo mc) I get
Unable to delete folder, read-only filesystem (30)
The rest of the disk is writeable, but this particular folder (with subfolders) are marked read-only filesystem.
I ran fsck for the whole disk (took 3.5 hours) and it did not find any errors.
I tried remount rw but the problem still persists.
What can I do to delete this folder and reinstall VLC player?

It seems you actually had VLC installed as a snap package instead of via traditional apt method.
Run the following command (with sudo if needed) to remove VLC
snap remove vlc
