Hi!
guix gc is responsible for removing unneeded packages. From
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-gc.html:
> The garbage collector has a set of known roots: any file under
> /gnu/store reachable from a

My own experience is that guix gc reports and removes dead symlinks in
this directory. So I
guess just remove the symlinks you listed:
> $ guix package --list-profiles
> /home/sirgazil/.devenvs/my-project/my-project
> /home/sirgazil/.devenvs/project-a/project-a
> /home/sirgazil/.config/guix/current
> /home/sirgazil/.guix-profile
>
and then call guix gc.
Cheers,
Moritz
