flox wipe-history command¶
NAME¶
flox-wipe-history - delete builds of non-current versions of an environment
flox [ <general-options> ] wipe-history [ <options> ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Environment generations are composed of: - a human editable description
(which can be modified with flox-edit(1)) - a build
of that description, which includes all the binaries that are part of
the environment
wipe-history cleans up old builds of an environment, but it does not
delete the description of generations, so they can still be switched to
with flox-rollback(1). wipe-history always
keeps the 10 most recent generations, and it only deletes generations
that have not been created or switched to for more than 90 days. In the
process, a garbage collection of the entirety of /nix/store is
triggered.
OPTIONS¶

The following options are used specifically by flox and must be
