Hi! As mentioned on the list, I recently had the same problem: How to uninstall Guix (completely) and then reinstall it?
What helped me in the end eas the following Arch wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guix#Uninstalling_Guix (Adapt this to what the commands and locations look like on your OS.) However, out of the box reinstalling Guix will not work 100% after this. You also need to restart the guix daemon, otherwise the socket might not exist, which was one problem I faced, when I did this. After restarting the daemon, I was able to reinstall Guix without even restarting my machine or logging out and back in or any such things.
