Hi,
I hafe a huge pile of files in /gnu/store/.links/, but they seem not to
belong to the store:
[root guix]# /usr/bin/ls /gnu/store/.links/ | wc -l
33412
[root guix]# /usr/bin/ls /gnu/store/.links/ | sed
s'!^!/gnu/store/.links/!' | xargs -n1 guix gc -d
guix gc: error: build failed: path
`/gnu/store/.links/0002s1j2dmph0jcqj04z1a39li6fc9glyss3fscwg3nyd5n918q1'
is not in the Nix store
……
and so on.
I't not an error in the sed-command:
[root guix]# ls
/gnu/store/.links/0002s1j2dmph0jcqj04z1a39li6fc9glyss3fscwg3nyd5n918q1
/gnu/store/.links/0002s1j2dmph0jcqj04z1a39li6fc9glyss3fscwg3nyd5n918q1
How can I get rid of them?

/gnu/store/.links is a content-addressed index of every file in the
store, used to implement deduplication. When a file is added to the
store, a hash of its contents is computed and looked up in
/gnu/store/.links/<hash>. If it exists, a hard link to the existing
file is made instead.
