I am trying to uninstall GW2 and all of its components but I can’t uninstall the desktop app successfully; it’s still on my system and I’m not sure how the GW2 repair works or it that’ll do anything for me, but just want the game fully uninstalled.

What do you mean by “can’t uninstall successfully”?
Is it giving you some kind of error message while uninstalling?

Or, after uninstall success, there are some file / folder left? If so, deleting those file / folder left manually should be fine.

That should be a last resort. You will leave old registry entries and other data on your computer from the program. You always want to uninstall a program with the proper installation program to limit the amount of clutter that you form in your PC over time. No need to make your PC run slow when it can be avoided.

If the windows uninstaller wont work, you can look for third party uninstallers that will delete the files then scan your computer to remove the stray files. Just be sure to research the program before downloading if you go this rout to make sure you get one that your comfortable with.

App? It sounds like you use macOS. Then install App Cleaner and it will delete all gw2 files, below are paths to these files:
App: /Applications/Guild Wars 2.app
Caches: ~/Library/Caches/com.transgaming.guildwars2
Preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.transgaming.guildwars2.plist

even the uninstaller leaves registry data, the only way to be sure is to find the registry in regedit but if you don’t know what to do it can ruin windows.
