These links are in /var/guix/profiles/ and has names like system-60-link The exact symlink name is found in the 'file name' field of the guix system list-generations command. The symlinks are the gc roots for the store items, so run guix gc after to actually remove the stuff. HTH Tonton On Mon, 17 Dec 2018 21:00:26 +0100 (CET) wrote: > Hello, Guix developers!
