where did you read that, do you have a reference ? 

this is definitely not true, a snap remove or snap refresh will always
cleanly remove all bits of the old snap (and it would be impossible to
not do this since all bits of a snap live in a single squashfs file
that is unmounted and removed from disk during uninstall) ...

if you refer to the automatic snapshotting of your *user data* on
removal (so it can be re-applied at re-install time of a snap) yes,
this is actually an advertised feature. 

it is there to stay on par with the behavior of deb packages, since
people complained that unlike debs snaps would not leave the user data
behind in $HOME when removed (while debs leave all this behind forever
in hidden dirs on your disk) ... if you want a snap to not take the
snapshots for you, you can use the --purge option to the snap remove
command ...

if you did not use --purge before but want to wipe the snapshotted
arball of any user data, you can list the snapshots wit "snap saved"
and remove them with "snap forget"
