    (Fedora) Hey, I've recently installed a program called Snapper-GUI which I want to get rid of(installed it from github). I installed it using git clone, then cd into the directory then ran "python3 setup.py install". But I cannot figure out how to actually uninstall it, I've tried a few commands but it doesn't work.

    Secondly, since Snapper is already there in our repositories, adding snapper-GUI(https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui) would be very handy to control BTRFS snapshots graphically.

    I use a tool called BTRBK to manage all of this. It takes snapshots at specific intervals, and sends them to an offsite backup servers, hooks to take snapshots before/after events like host upgrades (and host system snapshots show up in the grub menu for easy rollbacks) and pruning of older snapshots. There is no GUI though. There is another popular tool called Snapper that does have a third party GUI last I looked it had less features and was more complex than BTRBK.
