I don't normally do those after getting updates since I use the GUI
to do my updates, but I ran them just now. It gave me more space on
the drive (much appreciated), but all of those deinstall entries are
still there. For the time being, I'm going to assume it's as it
should be.

Meanwhile, we have yet to figure out what MR ZenWiz can do
to sort things out. I'm afraid that the extent of my offerings on the
topic are restricted to how to recover from a botched NVIDIA update,
but I'll try researching anything anyone else comes up with to see
what information is out there.
