Is there a semi automated way to cleanup /dev/loop mounts?

My system seems to generate more and more /dev/loop
mounts with certain updates.
So far it looks like:
/dev/loop0 128M 128M 0 100% /snap/yakyak/28
/dev/loop1 2.3M 2.3M 0 100% /snap/gnome-calculator/238
/dev/loop2 13M 13M 0 100% /snap/gnome-characters/139
/dev/loop3 3.8M 3.8M 0 100% /snap/gnome-system-monitor/57
/dev/loop4 15M 15M 0 100% /snap/gnome-logs/43
/dev/loop5 141M 141M 0 100% /snap/gnome-3-26-1604/70
/dev/loop7 43M 43M 0 100% /snap/gtk-common-themes/701
/dev/loop6 15M 15M 0 100% /snap/gnome-logs/45
/dev/loop8 13M 13M 0 100% /snap/gnome-characters/124
/dev/loop9 35M 35M 0 100% /snap/gtk-common-themes/818
/dev/loop11 2.3M 2.3M 0 100% /snap/gnome-calculator/260
/dev/loop10 35M 35M 0 100% /snap/gtk-common-themes/808
/dev/loop12 88M 88M 0 100% /snap/core/5742
/dev/loop13 102M 102M 0 100% /snap/ubuntu-social-kit/3
/dev/loop14 88M 88M 0 100% /snap/core/5662
/dev/loop16 141M 141M 0 100% /snap/yakyak/35
/dev/loop17 128M 128M 0 100% /snap/yakyak/25
/dev/loop18 141M 141M 0 100% /snap/gnome-3-26-1604/74
Is there a tool that can tell which ones are no longer in use and free them up?
Not that this is causing a problem, i just prefer less clutter with mount points.

Those are Snap packages - some came with Gnome, others you installed. One easy way to clean up duplicates is to reboot.
