Unable to open nix-shell and failed to unistall nix

Describe the bug

I am running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and have nix installed (via command sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon), but I always had to use sudo to use nix (I cannot use command nix --help, I have to use sudo nix --help).

After doing pull requests from github for plutus-apps (I am using nix to build dev enviroment for plutus) I am not able to use nix-shell anymore.

I am getting this errors if I try to run sudo nix-shell in plutus-apps folder:

If I try to run sudo nix-shell outside of plutus-apps folder I get:

error: getting status of '/home/mladen/default.nix': No such file or directory

* Uninstalling nix

I also tried unistalling nix per instructions found here - https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/installing-binary.html#linux

But after running all of the commands I still have nix installed.

After running sudo nix --help I get list of all of the commands

Please let me know if I need to provide additional information in order to get detailed instructions in how to fix this issue.Thank you in advance
