it may actually mislead people about what "cleaning up your system" could mean. removing it does not distort the original intent.
this makes it easier to see the actual locations the command inspects. reword the note to be more on point.
this is a fixed technical term, no need to quote it as if it were something hypothetical

Would prefer to move everything that isn't CLI here, because nix-store --gc isn't the only way to run GC.
For instance, we have also have nix store gc and the auto-gc options.

In that case we could move it under the new section created in #9206, as that's really about the store. Okay, I'll put it into draft until that's merged.

Yeah exactly! Now that we have the store section we can document how GC works in general, and in fact some information that is currently on the man pages can probably move there instead.
