Unable to remove package through "pacman -R"

I am trying to remove some mistakenly installed nvidea drivers, which are present in my system through the "nvidea" package. I've tried running "pacman -R nvidea", which returns:

error: package 'nvidea' not found

even though "pacman -Qqe" clearly states that nvidea, as well as nvidea-utils, is present in my system. How should I go about deleting said drivers, and figuring out why they're apparently invisible to "pacman -R"?
Thanks in advance

"nvidia" not "nvidea".
