Hi all,

I have a small, 24GB server running unattended-upgrade-service, which
regularly invokes guix time-machine. I noticed that the disk space on
that server was stubbornly almost maxed even though I regularly delete
system generations and gc'd all I could find. Turns out there was a
large amount of gc roots in /root/.cache/guix/inferiors which totaled up
to about ~70% of my total drive space.

Is there some Guix command I'm not aware of that can help manually trim
those roots? I can always nuke it with rm -r, but I'm curious if there's
a smarter solution (like deleting the least-recently used).

If not, perhaps a guix gc --delete-inferiors could be added so users are
more likely to realize those little buggers exist.
