How to completely remove Notepad++ in Ubuntu 18.04 terminal?

I can't find it in Synaptic package manager, and don't know where is on system, but I can see an icon in Activity. It is probably not completely installed, because I can't open it.

Notepad++ (notepad-plus-plus) is a snap package in the default repositories of all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. To remove Notepad++ open the terminal and type:

sudo snap abort --last auto-refresh  
sudo snap disable notepad-plus-plus   
sudo snap remove notepad-plus-plus

Try using this command to remove it while ignoring the "auto-refresh" progress: 

sudo snap remove notepad-plus-plus now
