First i remove evince applicattion:

$ guix package -r evince
nothing to be done

Later i type the command 'evince', and the command still exists:

Yes, because evince is *not* in your user profile.

Yes, because evince is in the *system profile*, which is distinct from
your user profile.  Remove the GNOME package and reconfigure.  If you
just want to remove evince, then you'll want to create a variant of
the GNOME package and reconfigure with that instead.
