Update 11-garbage-collector.md #241

noamraph wants to merge 1 commit into NixOS:master from noamraph:garbage-collector-update

Contributor

I just learned the chapter on GC, and I want to suggest two changes:

The text instructs to remove /nix/var/nix/profiles/default-9-link, however I don't see such files. Instead, it seems that you should remove ~/.local/state/nix/profiles/default-9-link.
The command that should remove indirect roots generated by nix-build seems way too broad. It will remove all profiles as well. I wrote another command, which just removes the outputs of nix-build.

For (1), I also had to update the description.

Can you review, and say what you think?

Thanks,
Noam
