I found it too. I think the best right way is to re install system.

installation is a nontrivial task (at least it was last time I did it, maybe
things are better these days). There are several system libraries that the
.run installation overwrites with nVidia versions, and the uninstall process
doesn't (or didn't use to) replace those back. Unless you do this manually,
after uninstallation you might still be left with a broken system. In any case
you should manually check if the uninstall process did replace everything to
its original state.
I don't remember the details anymore, though. There are various instructions
on the web and in this list's archives about the filenames etc. Google is your
friend.
As a point for the future --- when you are faced with the need to install
various 3rd party stuff like binary drivers for this or that, it is always a
good idea to first get informed what is the Right Way (tm) to do it in Fedora.
That will help you avoid situations like painting yourself into a corner and
similar. :-)
HTH, :-)
