No, the 'guix-store-item' command runs 'guix gc' under the hood, so it's safe. Removing manually here refers to using rm.

It's not too late. There are two approaches. The most recommended is:
1. Delete the generations of the user profiles (e.g. 'guix package --delete-generations')
2. Delete the generations of the system profiles (e.g. 'sudo guix system delete-generations')
3. Run 'guix gc'
The emacs-guix (guix.el) package has 'guix-generations' and 'guix-system-generations' which allow these to be applied to a list of profiles ('m' to mark, 'd' to delete).
Another approach is to remove the build files one-by-one with 'guix-store-item', although it's not recommended (because it's a more manual process).
