One of the cool things about rpm is it maintains a database of which
package is responsible for which file.  When you have a question like
that, you can do

rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/rc.d/init.d/nvidia

or whatever the actual filename is.  If any package owns it, it will be
shown, and you can rpm -e the package to get rid of it wholesale.

If no package claims it, it's up to you to nuke it by hand.
