You can roll back to Gotham from Helix using just the Gotham tar. You should also be able to upgrade to Helix from a recent Gotham stable using just the Helix tar as tar upgrade support is in OpenELEC 4.2.
As far as files on the /storage partition are concerned you should be OK although your guisettings.xml might cause problems so you should probably delete that after upgrading/downgrading.
