At the moment it seems that it's not possible to delete system generations without starting Emacs as root.

Would it be possible to lift this limitation for example using TRAMP?

Besides, is it possible to delete a system generation from the commandline?

Probably, thank you for the idea! Currently, I don't plan to add this feature, but patches are welcome :-)

I recall there were several discussions of this feature on guix-devel mailing list (look here for example), but they did not succeed, apparently.

As for me, I just remove the links from /var/guix/profiles/ manually when I don't need them.
