No, never delete stuff under the store manually. After everything stops pointing to it, guix gc will remove it. Remove only the links. >And if I do, can I delete "current-guix-*-link" as well? I am the only >user on the machine. Except for cases like this where something is not working right, I would advise against deleting stuff in /var/guix/profiles/per-user. Just use the guix commands for that, current-guix is managed by guix pull, so guix pull --delete-generations. Rutherther > >Regards, >
