Hi Florian, gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix system list-generations | grep Generation | wc -l 86
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix gc --list-roots | wc -l 520 I have so many links in /var/guix/profiles/system-86-link also in : /var/guix/profiles/per-user/gfp/current-guix-171-link also in : /var/guix/profiles/per-user/gfp/guix-profile-341-link How do I get rid of them? Can I simply delete them? thanks Gottfried Am 04.02.26 um 17:54 schrieb Alexander Asteroth:
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 227I suppose somethings wrong on my system if I have more roots than generations?Bests AlexOn Wed, Feb 04 2026, 16:29:49, "pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)" <[email protected]> wrote:Gfp <[email protected]> writes: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
