Well, if you want to remove them, just run rpm -e on them. The names of 
the rpms installed will be evident by doing rpm -qa \*nvidia\*. You will 
however need to use --nodeps to uninstall nvidia-glx, and later 
re-install XFree86-MEsa-libGL to satisfy the libGL.so.1 dependency.

That said, there is really no need to uninstall in order to upgrade. 
Whenever a new kernel comes out, you rebuild the src.rpm and install the 
resulting kernel-module-nvidia-driver rpm (note: you don't have to 
re-install nvidida-glx when you upgrade the kernel!).

Hope this helps.
