Your mistake, in my opinion, was that you should have swapped cards before
removing Nvidia but my guess would be that if you swap cards and then reboot
the file, as Vanguard suggested, will probably be deleted and if it doesn't
there won't be a problem in deleting it manually.

If I can help you I will.
If you can help me thanks.
