Dear Florian,
that's interesting. In my case I get:
$ guix home list-generations | grep Generation | wc -l
81
$ guix system list-generations | grep Generation | wc -l
18
$ guix gc --list-roots | wc -l
227
I suppose somethings wrong on my system if I have more roots than
generations?

Hi,
I deleted many generations and left only some
still I have got approx. 375 GiB for the store.
Why that much?
Do you have multiple users? If so, it may be better to delete
generations of all users by running guix gc as root:
sudo guix gc --delete-generations=1m
or so.
Perhaps also a run of
sudo guix gc --list-roots
tells when you have multiple profiles but you have not upgraded
them in
a long time, taking up more space for old versions.
Regards,
Florian
