No, you can safely delete it as long as there’s no ‘guix’ process accessing it while you’re deleting it. > What is at this time the recommended way to trigger a full re-clone and > re-authentication of guix channels from an already installed system or > home, if any? Full reclone can be forced by “rm -rf ~/.cache/guix/checkouts”. Full reauthentication really isn’t needed, but if you insist: “rm -rf ~/.cache/guix/authentication”. HTH! Ludo’.
