There is an --uninstall switch that can be passed to the  NVIDIA-Linux-some-
x.y.z-version.run which is theoretically supposed to remove these, if indeed 
they are leftovers from such an install.

I also usually go to init 3 and use lsmod to ensure the nvidia kernel module 
is not being loaded, just to be on the safe side.
