Hi,
guix home does not have a way to uninstall itself.

irc conversation about the bug on #tropin on Libera:
```
jgart: symlink-manager have cleanup-symlinks procedure in it, which cleanups dotfiles from previous generation. just declare a new home-environment with empty list of services and add only symlink-manager to essential-services, after that do a reconfigure and everything except ~/.guix-home will be cleaned up
abcdw_: cool! could we make a subcommand from that? guix home uninstall or similar.
jgart: Most people are not going to know to use cleanup-symlinks procedure in symlink-manager.

jgart: will do, thanks!
```
