# Examples
|
|
|
|
* Delete a specific store path:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix store delete /nix/store/yb5q57zxv6hgqql42d5r8b5k5mcq6kay-hello-2.10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Description
|
|
|
|
This command deletes the store paths specified by *installables*. ,
|
|
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, `nix store delete` is a more targeted version of `nix store
|
|
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).
