As it says, that store path is still alive, but why? When you install a package, remove a package, or do anything in your user profile, guix will create a new "generation" of the profile that contains the same items as the previous generation, except for what you asked it to do. So when removing a package with `guix remove foo`, you cerate a new generation of the profile, where package "foo" is not present. Old generations of your profile are considered live, and are protected against garbage collection, so you can roll back to them easily in case something goes wrong with the new generation. Try this: guix package --roll-back Now, you should be able to use your font again! You can list the generations with guix package --list-generations and go back to the most recent one with guix package --switch-generation=<n> where <n> is the generation number given in the previous command. You can also remove old generations of your profile, for instance, all but the current one: guix package --delete-generations and then, you should be able to collect that store path :) HTH!
