Uninstall Guix?

Uninstall Guix?

[HiPhish]

Hello,

I think I have messed up a few things with my Guix installation and I would 
like to start over with a fresh setup, but I haven't found information on how 
to uninstall Guix in the manual.

I am using Kubuntu 18.10 and I had installed Guix from a binary installation 
back when it was still at version 0.15 or 0.14 I think. I want to uninstall it 
completely, I don't care about preserving any configurations or packages.

Thank you in advance.

Hi!

I uninstalled Guix and re-installed it for about the same reasons.
Here is what did the job:

  rm -rf /gnu
  rm -rf /var/guix
  rm -rf /etc/guix
  rm -rf ~/.profile/guix
  rm ~/.guix-profile

Maybe some more experience users can add/remove things to that list...

I ended up doing the same, plus some extra steps. Basically, I walked through 
the binary installation instructions of the manual and unded all the steps. 
When it told me to copy, move or symlink something I deleted that, I disabled 
and deleted the SystemD services, and I removed all the Guix build users and 
their group.

Great!
Did you wrote a script to reproduce the steps by any chance?

Sorry no, I did it by hand because 1) I was doing things with Root access and 
I did not want to automate something I haven't done by hand before, and 2) 
it's probably not something I will have to do often (or ever again).
