Delete a specific store path:
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).
