If that directory and the alternative still exist, some packages from
the current driver must still be installed. Or you found another bug.
Please send the output of
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
dpkg -S /usr/lib/nvidia/current
I suspect the nvidia-alternative package to be still installed (not the
-legacy-340xx one, that of course needs to be there), but that shouldn't
be possible after you purged nvidia-legacy-check.
