Well, I meant what I wrote in the example below

It deletes the old ~/.config/guix/ profiles. If I'm not wrong, each of those
profiles consume a couple of 100MBs.
So if "checkout" is confusing, what about "Guix copy" instead?
See "(guix) Invoking guix pull" in the manual for terminology.

I like it better! I'll use your suggestion.
