Is there a way to generate the folder again? This is the first time I=E2=80=99m hearing of a problem like that. Guix ca= nnot delete /var/guix. It needs what=E2=80=99s in there, most importantly the database that tells the daemon what items in /gnu/store are valid and which of them are not. Without that database everything in /gnu/store is invalid. There is no way to recover from this other than reinstallation of Guix. --=20 Ricardo
