As far as I'm aware, the way to do this is to delete the symlink for the
generation you want gone. 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.
