Normally,

--uninstall

    During installation, the installer will make backups of any
conflicting files and record the installation of new files. The
uninstall option undoes an install, restoring the system to its
pre-install state.

So, if the driver is still "nvidia", it's most probably that process
didn't complete, maybe didn't even begin.
