Oh, apparently you can do this:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Should you eventually want to uninstall Guix, run the same │
│ script with the --uninstall flag:                          │
│                                                            │
│ ./guix-install.sh --uninstall                              │
│                                                            │
│ With --uninstall, the script irreversibly deletes all the  │
│ Guix files, configuration, and services.                   │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
