(remove (lambda (service) (eq? (service-kind service) profile-service-type)) %desktop-services)
"works for me." Though you get a HUGE output. I didn't check the
output to make sure it was removed. Also just removing all
profile-service-type(s) might be a REALLY BAD idea. I wouldn't know
exactly why it would be bad, but it might remove lots of system services.

So the problem with it not knowing that 'network-manager-service-type'
is a variable is because you have not included the file that specifies
that network-manager-service-type is a variable. So how do we discover
what file has network-manager-service-type defined as a variable?
$ guix system search network-manager
name: network-manager
location: gnu/services/networking.scm:1120:4
extends: shepherd-root dbus polkit account activate session-environment profile
shepherdnames: networking
description: Run NetworkManager (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager), a network management daemon that aims to
+ simplify wired and wireless networking.
relevance: 15
You can see that it's located in gnu/services/networking.scm. Where is
bluetooth defined?
$ guix system search bluetooth
name: bluetooth
location: gnu/services/desktop.scm:467:2
extends: dbus udev etc shepherd-root
shepherdnames: bluetooth
description: Run the `bluetoothd' daemon, which manages all the Bluetooth devices and provides a number of D-Bus interfaces.
relevance: 19
Ahh. gnu/services/desktop.scm.
so
$ guile
scheme@(guile-user) > ,use(gnu services networking)
scheme@(guile-user) > ,use(gnu services desktop)
scheme@(guile-user) > (remove (lambda (service) (member (service-kind service) (list network-manager-service-type bluetooth-service))) %desktop-services)
Best of luck!

Hello, Joshua!
I see your code is elegant and represents solution of a task:
remove 'network-manager-service-type' from %desktop-services variable
I've already got this solution here in Guix-help and I use it
in every config.scm example placed to my git:
https://gitgud.io/znavko/guix-configs
Now I faced to another interestng task:
1. I use %desktop-services that declares 'network-manager-applet'
as extension of 'profile-service-type' here [1]
2. I use 'xfce-desktop-service-type' that has 'profile-service-type'
as an extension [2]
3. I cannot just simply remove 'profile-service-type' because it is
really important [3]
4. I need to remove 'network-manager-applet' from the extensions list
in 'profile-service-type' declared here [4]
You gave me and idea to work with variables.
I could just redefine some variable, for example copy
desctop.scm to my local machine and include it to my config
and code it without those lines that include 'network-manager-applet'.
But I see this approach is not elegant, as Russians say 'a dog-nail'.
I seek elegant academical solution, as programmers say 'linux-way'.
I alwasy ask here and got solutions, but here I started to read
Lisp manual, then I will read Scheme manual, then Guile manual
and then Guix manual and Guix repository to discover that only
funcion-antidote for this peace of code [4]:
(define %desktop-services
;; List of services typically useful for a "desktop" use case.
(cons*
...
(simple-service 'network-manager-applet
profile-service-type
(list network-manager-applet))))
Do you know some Guix function for remove extension?
If you have a snippet for remove extension from service it
will be very exact I want.

I don't really know of the elegant way to do what you want. :( I
currently am running nm-applet, but sway doesn't officially support it.
I don't know how to elegantly remove it from my config either. :(
Best of luck!
