You cannot transfer nodes from one implementation to another.
I am not trying to transfer nodes from one implementation to another, I am trying to solve why when installing core lightning the name of another user that is not my node appears every time I install core lightning...

I realized that the node id is not the same as the lnd node id
For the node_id to be the same, the same keys would have to be used. A lightning node is defined by it's private keys and state (commitment transactions). What @TonyGiorgio meant when he said you can't transfer nodes across implementations is that you can't transfer keys and state easily from lnd to core lightning, thus the node_id will not be the same.
I deleted core lightning and downloaded it again and now it shows the name of another different user
If you uninstalled and re-installed core lightning, then you generated a new set of keys. It's not showing another user's information, it's showing you newly generated information

Doesn't matter from where to where. If you remove CLN and install it again, you need to do a recovery. Read https://docs.corelightning.org/docs/backup and https://docs.corelightning.org/docs/recovery.
