Mine (installed in
/gnu/store/mi10gphgjw1d....5b-guix-82a9538ea/share/info/guix.info.gz)
says in section 5.5 Invoking ‘guix gc’:

They are not in PATH.

It seems that there are a lot of things that I have not understood about
how the whole thing works.

I will study the manual again. Is there a way to complete remove my
current installation so that I start with a clean slate?

Thank for your time.
