IIRC (used to use this but have Nvidia card now) there were two ways to 
install this. One was a generic non distro specific script-based install 
which would provide the uninstall.sh. The other was to generate a 
distribution specific package. This was always the route I chose because it 
was trivial to remove via Yast or rpm, just as if it were any other package.

If you chose the latter, then it can be removed either via Yast or RPM.
