Description
**Title:** Docs don't specify whether `snap remove` also removes runtime dependencies
Based on my understanding, removing a snap also removes all of its runtime dependencies, but this isn't explicitly confirmed in the documentation.
**References checked:**
- [Get started](https://snapcraft.io/docs/tutorials/get-started/#remove-a-snap) : no mention of dependency handling
- `snap remove --help` — no mention either
**Expected fix:** The docs (or `--help` output) should explicitly state whether `snap remove` removes unused runtime dependencies.

Research direction
Start with the referenced Get started section at snapcraft.io/docs/tutorials/get-started/#remove-a-snap and inspect the `snap remove --help` output. Confirm the dependency behavior from the available project sources, then update the appropriate documentation or help text so the behavior is explicitly stated.
