Hi Zack,

Following the references in the manual I end up at:
• _Integers and comma-separated integers_. Both patterns denote
generation numbers. For instance, ‘--list-generations=1’
returns the first one.
And ‘--list-generations=1,8,2’ outputs three generations in
the specified order. Neither spaces nor trailing commas are
allowed.
Have you tried 'sudo guix system delete-generations N'? It seemed to work for me.
Kind regards,
T G-R
