Yes, that works for me. > Following the references in the manual How did you get there from this? =E2=80=98delete-generations=E2=80=99 Delete system generations, making them candidates for garbage collection (*note Invoking guix gc::, for information on how to run the =E2=80=9Cgarbage collector=E2=80=9D). This works in the same way as =E2=80=98guix package --delete-genera= tions=E2=80=99 (*note =E2=80=98--delete-generations=E2=80=99: Invoking guix packag= e.). With no arguments, all system generations but the current one are deleted: guix system delete-generations You can also select the generations you want to delete. The example below deletes all the system generations that are more than two months old: guix system delete-generations 2m I don't see any relevant links. (Perhaps the problem is that one of these links _is_ relevant but doesn't look like it? In particular, the link to "Invoking guix package" goes to the _top_ of that very long page; it might be that there's something relevant _somewhere_ in there, but I really shouldn't have to hunt for it. In my opinion, the full syntax of the `delete-generations' command should be documented right there in the documentation of `delete-generations' itself.) zw
