So few questions to start off with:
Does the system still boot everytime and run/games with Nvidia card?
Is this a system you put together or someone like BestBuy?
Do you know if the mobo is AMD or Intel?
If it's an AMD board you may have onboard graphics driver that needs updating.
Or
If it's an Intel board and you bought it from a store it's possible they loaded a generic image that has multiple drivers/software preinstalled (because they are lazy). In that case you can try to uninstall the the AMD software or boot windows to safe-mode and uninstall the AMD graphics driver.

it dose have a onboard but its not even listed in the device manager so it must be disabled or they never loaded the drivers for it.

Is Nvidia the only thing listed under display adapters in device manager?
Seems others have the same thought about uninstalling in safe mode. If you see the AMD display device in safe mode it might be worth giving that a shot.

I'd be a little hesitant on deleting the AMD folder unless you can confirm it only has AMD display drivers in it. It may contain other software/drivers for onboard stuff.

If the system is still booting up fine ... ignore it.
If you go in and start tinkering its possible you can make the system even more confused than it is now.
Either way, back up your personal files ASAP.
If you do plan to chase the rabbit, be ready to do a full factory reset / system restore.
Reinstalling your OS from scratch is painful, but, its usually fairly straight forward and gets you to a known good working point fairly quickly. When you go chasing the rabbit you can easily spend 2-3-5x as long tinkering around and STILL end up having to restart from ground zero.
