|
`nix-store --delete` - delete store paths
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Synopsis
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
`nix-store` `--delete` [`--ignore-liveness`] *paths…*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Description
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The operation `--delete` deletes the store paths *paths* from the Nix
|
|||
|
|
store, but only if it is safe to do so; that is, when the path is not
|
|||
|
|
reachable from a root of the garbage collector. This means that you can
|
|||
|
|
only delete paths that would also be deleted by `nix-store --gc`. Thus,
|
|||
|
|
`--delete` is a more targeted version of `--gc`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With the option `--ignore-liveness`, reachability from the roots is
|
|||
|
|
ignored. However, the path still won’t be deleted if there are other
|
|||
|
|
paths in the store that refer to it (i.e., depend on it).
