-<para>The command <command>nix-collect-garbage</command> is mostly an
-alias of <link linkend="rsec-nix-store-gc"><command>nix-store
---gc</command></link>, that is, it deletes all unreachable paths in
-the Nix store to clean up your system.  However, it provides two
-additional options: <option>-d</option> (<option>--delete-old</option>),
-which deletes all old generations of all profiles in
-<filename>/nix/var/nix/profiles</filename> by invoking
-<literal>nix-env --delete-generations old</literal> on all profiles
-(of course, this makes rollbacks to previous configurations
-impossible); and
-<option>--delete-older-than</option> <replaceable>period</replaceable>,
-where period is a value such as <literal>30d</literal>, which deletes
-all generations older than the specified number of days in all profiles
-in <filename>/nix/var/nix/profiles</filename> (except for the generations
-that were active at that point in time).
