nix-store: Delete a specific store path (must be unused).
$ nix-store --delete ${-nix-store----}
try on your machine
The command nix-store --delete ${-nix-store----}
is used to delete a specific derivation or store path from the Nix store.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
nix-store
: This is the command-line utility in Nix package manager used for managing the Nix store.--delete
: This flag instructsnix-store
to delete the specified path or derivation from the Nix store.${-nix-store----}
: This represents the store path or derivation that you want to delete.
The ${-nix-store----}
is a placeholder notation and should be replaced with the actual path or derivation you want to delete. The full command should have the store path enclosed within backticks or quotes, like this: nix-store --delete '/nix/store/abcd...xyz'
.
Be cautious when using the nix-store --delete
command, as it permanently deletes the specified path and its dependencies from the Nix store.
