How to remove unusable Nvidia CPL link?

I recently moved a hard drive from a tower to a laptop with Windows 7 on it and the tower had an Nvidia GPU in it but the laptop has Intel graphics. I uninstalled all of the Nvidia drivers and deleted some leftover files but the control panel link is still there. I tried looking for the CPL file but I didn't find it anywhere and a little research didn't do much. I don't know what to do besides link the Intel graphics control panel to that link and leave it.

  • Try overriding the install with GeForce Experience, or just use the registry!

    1. registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_RESPONSE
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{Corresponding GUID}  
    2. Driver reset:

    cmd
    pnputil /delete-driver oemX.inf /uninstall
