The output of `guix gc --list-roots' seems to suggest that the actual garbage collector roots are in /var/guix/profiles (note that root sees the roots of all users, whereas users only see their own).
More importantly, all GC roots in /home seem to point to the cache used by guix shell. By definition, everything in XDG_CACHE_HOME should be removable without consequences. Is this not the case here? Cheers
