I accidentally tried to install twice, it broke and I literally can't

---- warning! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Nix already appears to be installed. This installer may run into issues.
If an error occurs, try manually uninstalling, then rerunning this script.

Uninstalling nix:

1. Remove macOS-specific components:

   • Uninstall LaunchDaemon org.nixos.nix-daemon

     sudo launchctl bootout system/org.nixos.nix-daemon
     sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist

2. Restore /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix back to /etc/bashrc

sudo mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc

(after this one, you may need to re-open any terminals that were
opened while it existed.)

3. Restore /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix back to /etc/zshrc

sudo mv /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix /etc/zshrc

(after this one, you may need to re-open any terminals that were
opened while it existed.)

4. Delete the files Nix added to your system:

sudo rm -rf "/etc/nix" "/nix" "/var/root/.nix-profile" "/var/root/.nix-defexpr" "/var/root/.nix-channels" "/var/root/.local/state/nix" "/var/root/.cache/nix" "/Users/dany/.nix-profile" "/Users/dany/.nix-defexpr" "/Users/dany/.nix-channels" "/Users/dany/.local/state/nix" "/Users/dany/.cache/nix"

and that is it.

---- oh no! --------------------------------------------------------------------
I back up shell profile/rc scripts before I add Nix to them.
I need to back up /etc/bashrc to /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix,
but the latter already exists.

Here's how to clean up the old backup file:

1. Back up (copy) /etc/bashrc and /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix
   to another location, just in case.

2. Ensure /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix does not have anything
   Nix-related in it. If it does, something is probably quite
   wrong. Please open an issue or get in touch immediately.

3. Once you confirm /etc/bashrc is backed up and
   /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix doesn't mention Nix, run:
   mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc

We'd love to help if you need it.

you haven't yet achieved a full nix uninstall. the final step is to shut down your mac and turn it back on holding the power button until you get to start up options. click the gears icon and login to an admin account. open Disk Utility from the top menu. from Disk Utility, unmount the nix volume and then erase it (i think you have to click a minus button somewhere). if all goes well you have uninstalled nix. shutdown your computer again and then turn it back on normally...i've uh, done this more than once
