LXC - Stop LXC

LXD does not want to stop

Try:

snap refresh lxd

or

echo "reload" > /var/snap/lxd/common/state
systemctl stop snap.lxd.daemon
systemctl start snap.lxd.daemon.unix.socket
systemctl start snap.lxd.activate

NOTE: Normally lxd.activate should be inactive/exited, unix.socket should always be active and service should be active if LXD is running.
