The Software Store lets me install Ksnip but I do see an uninstall button. Nor does Ksnip appear in my list of Installed apps.
Check if you installed it as a snap package in the software center.

Ksnip does not appear as an Installed package. So I do not know where I would check. My recollection is that it was listed as a snap package before I installed it but I would not swear to it in court.
The screenshot shows that you are checking the flatpak, you need to switch it over to snap to see the uninstall button.

Open the Terminal and type snap remove --purge ksnip and that should remove the Dependency what You have asked here, too:
I tried but I received the following message from the Terminal:
'snap "ksnip" is not installed'
The problem is that it is still installed. I can open it on my computer. It even has its own little icon at the bottom right of my screen.
Terminal:
flatpak list
What do I do after I get the list?
Relay the output here...
The purpose of that command was to determine what format Ksnip is installed with.
Zorin OS offers three formats:
- The Standard APT ( Labeled as simply from
Zorin OSrepositories) - Alternative
Flatpak(supplied by Flathub) - Alternative Snap (run with Snapd)
The Software store is developed by Gnome, not ZorinGroup and it defaults to Flatpak, rather than to APT. This is because Gnome developed Flatpak and with their conflict of interest, they favor themselves.
Is it possible to have the output sorted into alphabetical order and maybe display the full width of the Name column?
Wow... that is a long, long list... -chuckle-
You can pipe that to a Text File in your Home Directory, which you can copy and paste here or use pastebin to post it...
flatpak list > ~/flatpak_list.txt
That helped: it shows the version as 1.10.1
This does not match Flatpak version and your flatpak list does not show it.
It does not match APT and also APT shows it as not installed.
It does match the Snap version.
I cross referenced and in your post here:
You have a snap package installed: kf5-5-110-qt-5-15-11-core22
This is a KDE Framework package which includes various KDE tools... including ksnip
Removing kf5-5-110-qt-5-15-11-core22 in Snap should remove all of the KDE framework desktop tools.
And I agree - Snap is... a marvel of shaking your head.
You can snap remove command each snap package, then run
sudo apt remove --purge gnome-software-plugin-snap snapd
to get rid of it entirely.

Thank you for the additional information. I found further evidence of snaps on my computer and I will be attempting to remove them. However, I will first implement Timeshift so I that do not accidentally ruin my installation during my mission to be snap free.
