Updating nvidia driver

I installed the 177.70 nvidia driver from nvidia's site some time ago when the driver was just released, and now with 177.80 I'd like to install it via pacman. How do I cleanly remove 177.70 before I install via pacman ?? There is no package name, ie., I can't do pacman -R nvidia or nvidia-177.70 etc.

TIA

Re: Updating nvidia driver

You can use the nvidia *.run file that you used to install the nvidia driver with "--uninstall" switch.
